If you have any antibiotics that were previously prescribed for YOU than you can take a larger dose of them to get the infection under control (that much pain is indicative of an abcess) and after 12 hours you ought to get relief from that. Call a pharmacist to get proper dosage info. Other than that start taking ibuprofen and don't skip, take regularly as indicated. Oh, also ice, ice, ice. Take a bag of frozen peas (sounds weird, but...) and use it 20 minutes on, 20 min off for the rest of the evening. Keep ypur blood pressure down also, there is a live artery in there and if you get amped up it will hurt more, just lie around. Hope you feel better!!
Reply:If there is a health food store around try to see if they have some clove oil. Put it all around the tooth that hurts but try not to get it anywhere else. It taste aweful but it really works
Reply:Ok. You need to see a dentist ASAP. Ring your dentist and listen to the message that is left during out of hours. Many have an emergency service out of hours so you could get in tonight for some pain relief.





Good Luck!!
Reply:Soak some cotton wool in either whisky or vinegar and press onto the hurting tooth and area... Bite on it hard and remove... Usually works for me... Both taste disgusting though! (IMO) ;)
Reply:try rubbing it with whisky or brandy and taking paracetemol not more than 2 tablets. bad for your liver (liver poisoning)


if you are in uk, your hospital may have an emergency dentist at your E AND R hospital. if you can possibly get there , give them a ring first.
Reply:Take some ibuprofen. That is meant to be the best analgesic for toothache.
Reply:Take a paracetamol and an ibroprofen together and that really works. If you have mouth wash use that to numb it and get rid of any germs. Hope this helps.
Reply:plenty of booze!!
Reply:rub tobacco into the gum and try a half bottle of powers
Reply:chili pepper-rubbed on the tooth and gum- as often as you need it- it works !
Reply:Call yr Dental surgery they will have emergency out of hours number. Alternatively, if there is a hole in the tooth crush some paracetamol (1 should do) and push it into the hole with some cotton wool to act as a cap. This will need to be removed before you go to sleep though. Hope it helps.
Reply:So sorry to hear about your pain. I have had trouble with my teeth for years, but I remember at one time I had terrible toothache and for some unknown reason I stuffed my handkerchief in my mouth and just bit into it - the pain was almost instantly relieved. That's one way.


But if you live in the UK you can get emergency help 24 hours a day.
Reply:You can get stuff from the chemist which you apply directly to your tooth . Helps loads. If not open get some ibuprofen from the store. This can be taken at the same time as paracetamol to help ease the pain. Your local out of hour health service can provide emergency dental treatment.
Reply:Ibuprofen AND a paracetamol type painkiller - I had this last year. For me it was an infection and I had to take antibiotics, but not the ones you usually get from the doctor, different ones for anaerobic bacteria (something -zidamol?)
Reply:i had a hole in my front tooth which was infected the only thing that took the pain off until i got to the dentist was whiskey ..just swill some into the tooth that hurts then spit it out
Reply:As well as taking painkillers I put a hot water bottle against my face through a towel and this dfoes help a bit, but ultimately the only thing that will help is a dentist, see if they have an out of hours service for such bad pain or go the local casualty and tell them they might have something better for the pain.
