Tooth ache

The only ways I know how is take a few Advil, regular ones and also use a good amount of Anbesol. I have had a tooth ache for a while now, it comes and goes. And the last few days it was bothering me. So I took some Advil and used some Anbesol. It seemed to take the pain away enough so I could get things done. I need to get to the dentist myself.

Goldenseal tincture is very good, my husband has two teeth that have holes in them and my son too, they rinse their mouth with it, you put 9 drops in water of Goldenseal tincture and rinse your mouse with it everyday until you can see or have the money for a dentist, tell you it works. You have to buy it from a health store. Good luck.

One of the ingredients in Orajel is clove oil. Pure clove oil actually works better sometimes because it can get down where the pain is rather that sitting on top of your tooth. Clove oil numbs anything it gets to and you can reapply it as often as needed. It's worth a try.

I do realize that how difficult would it be for you to work, or in fact focus on anything with such a bad toothache. However, in your current scenario, you may take some approved OTC(over the counter) medicine for tooth pain relief. It might be a combination of Combiflam with some other medicine(s). Or, may be some home remedy like use of clove etc.

You can take up to 8 x 500mg paracetamols (Recommendation is to take two at a time. If this number isn't exceeded, it is absolutely safe) and 6 x 200mg ibuprofens (one at a time, but must be taken soon after at least a bite of food) in any 24 hour period. As for topical application, application of iodine counter-irritant (See my post on http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2652449.aspx?p=2. Alice, please don't delete this discussion - Nothing is plagiarised from the one I'm referring to, and hydrogen peroxide was not discussed previously in the way it is discussed here) to the junction of the tooth and the gum is probably more effective and less damaging to tissues than hydrogen peroxide (If the chemist can't supply this to you, you can use a mixture of peroxide with potassium iodide, or, if totally desperate, peroxide with iodised table salt - I am assuming there is enough buffering capacity in your saliva to generate iodine from the iodide, but I may be wrong. If so, try tincture of iodine).

Philly, I know the feeling. What works for me is 1/3 hydrogen peroxide to 2/3 water. I rinse my mouth with it, holding it my mouth on the side where the tooth is. I believe this helps because oftentimes a toothache is caused by infection. I don't rinse my mouth with water afterwards even though it feels "fuzzy" from the HP. Every hour or so is how often I do it. Also here is a good link www.earthclinic.com/CURES/tooth_abscess.html Hope this helps.

I take Mefenamic acid or Naproxen Sodium to alleviate the pain. I usually take it about 3 times a day until the ache subsides.

it might pain a lot in the initial moments,but once you bear it ,it would be fine,i suggest you to take cold water and give some goggling in it or eat only cold foods to chill it down

Tynelol? The oral gel that can be boughten at the store? I had a tooth ache and it was very painful but more just when I ate. I would avoid that area until you can go to the detist.

I don't know any real solutions but I was going to suggest warm salt water as well. I am sorry that you'll have to wait to see a dentist, that pain can be real bad for a tooth ache. If you can get some numbing agent at the store orajel or something I would also suggest that.

Hi Phil ! toothache is so painful that pain reaches to all body parts , as if only the tip of the hair which has no pain. It is so beautiful to scream , to cry , to punch if the pain is so intense. I suggest hence it can't be extracted if pain is still there , have some ice cubes in the area where the pain is . This will numb thee whole area and less pain you'll feel now or put some ginger on affected area , this perceived to have some antibiotic effects . Hope this can help , God bless !

Philly, tooth ache come due to the less enamel on your teeth. It is due to eating high toxic food that is prepared in fast food and also by eating very hot or cold food. However you can make your teeth strong as before by regular brushing, washing with salt water etc,. More important thing is you need to wash your mouth before you go to bed! You can also cloves to reduce the pain by placing it on the place where it aches! Please take care Philly.
