Tooth ache!?

I have such a bad tooth ache and it hurts all the way up to my eye and into my neck what can i do???

Tooth ache!?
make an appt within 24-48 hours to see your dentist. the fact that you have pain outside of your mouth could be an indication that you have an infection that has spread and it could turn serious quickly





for now





-swish and spit salt water to clean out your mouth and provide some relief for the toothache. use 2tsp salt to 8oz warm water.





-brush your teeth after eating or drinking anything (except water). this will prevent further irritation





-for pain take ibuprofen (if not allergic). it works better than tylenol b/c it has an anti-inflammatory in it to help reduce swelling. take 200-400mg every 6 hours but no more than 1200mg in 24 hours.





make sure to get that appointment-if it is an infection you'll need antibiotics to clear it out.





LATE ENTRY-if you don't have a regular dentist-then make an appt to see your regular dr or go to the nearest urgent care. if you have an infection brewing-it's just going to get worse and will continue to spread.
Reply:Take pain medication but are you sure it is not your sinuses? If you still have the pain in the morning and you are sure it is not sinuses then see your dentist tomorrow to find out what is going on.
Reply:Take Advil. You can take up to 4 pills. Brush your teeth, use listerine, and you can try some orajel. Otherwise, get to the dentis tomorrow. ASAP. There are some things you just can't mess with.
Reply:Extra strength Tylenol is all that ever worked for me. But get to a dentist asap or it will only get worse. Moist heat also works to ease the pain.
Reply:i have had those and they are excruciating! the most you could do is to take pain relievers...also if you cut up thin slices of raw potato and place it on the gum area of the tooth that hurts, it will provide some relief. but i've had those head splitting tooth aches before and they are the worst! you should get to a dentist soon!
Reply:BEST answer for you is talk to the Dr.


good luck.
Reply:Until you see a dentist hold whiskey on the side that is hurting, It does work.
Reply:You need to schedule an appointment to see a dentist as soon as possible. Mention to the receptionist that it is an emergency, so that it can get taken care of right away. The reason I say this is because it seems you have an infection. This can be very dangerous if not taken care of. Infections in your mouth can travel to surrounding areas. You can lose your sight, your ability to hear etc...Please take care of yourself SOON!
Reply:get a raw hot chili pepper


mince or pound it


wrap it up in cotton


place the cotton-wrapped chili pepper on the affected tooth





the chili pepper disinfects the tooth and helps ease the pain.


try it, it really worked for me. but go to the dentist as this is just a stopgap and not the solution.
