What is the best thing for a major tooth ache?
If you can't get to a dentist right away, have him place a whole clove (first softened with water), against the spot that hurts.





Eugenol, the active ingredient in cloves that give them their characteristic smell, acts as a painkiller.

Reply:advil liquid gels 2 if bad, however you can't take more than one kind of med at a time. So wait 4 hours from the last time you took a pain med. Its the penicillin that gets rid of the infection in your tooth. Dentist gives u prescription.
Reply:if it hurts really bad you should go to a dentist quick. If you just leave it it may get really serious and lead to worse problems
Reply:Go to the drug store, there is an ointment (anbesol) that is sold that you can put on it,kind of numbs it temporarily
Reply:Go to a dentist and have it pulled.


That will permanently kill the ache.





Also a sedative, such as valium will ease his nerves, which in turn will ease the aching nerve in the bad tooth.


Antibiotics are something to think about as well.
