What should I do if I have a tooth ache or a gum ache?
Of course the best thing to do is see your dentist about the problem. For temporary relief of the pain take 800 mg of Ibuprofen which is prescription strength. It has an anti-inflammatory in it so it is going to work better than Tylenol or aspirin. If your gums are sore, you can rinse several times a day with warm salt water. Use 1 teaspoon of salt to 8 ounces of water.

Reply:You might want to see a dentist, if it keeps hurting, it could be a bad cavity.





But while you are waiting for your appointment, some pharmacys have clove oil, that can take away the pain for a little while. Anyone can buy it, sometimes it's on the shelf, but sometimes they keep it behind the counter.





I never used it, I know people who did use it, and it seemed to work really well.





But you still should see a dentist.
