How do I get rid of a toothache?!
Question: How do I get rid of a toothache.?
I have a terrible toothache and I have taken Motrin and clove oil (part of what they use in the numbing shots at the dentist) but nothing is working! I'm getting it pulled tomorrow but I have to get through tonight! One of my molars are broken in half and you the root is exposed and it's pretty icky looking and it's been getting worse. The clove oil worked for about 2 minutes but then it wore off and the motrin is just slightly dulling the pain. Any other suggestions.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
A little aspirin or something like that on the pain may dull it for awhile. Of course, check with your parents about allergies.
Truthfully, it's going to be a rough night. I've been there as I was to the dentist today to get a new filling and am going back next week too for another filling to be replaced.
Get a blanket. Watch a little TV. Try to get your mind off of it and nod off once in awhile. And the morning will come.Health Question & Answer

Sorry no good answer to this, except that a painful tooth is typically caused by an infection, if you have an antibiotic around pop one along with the motrin.
I know it is late, but try calling the dentist and see if they can give you a stronger pain killer (AKA prescription pain killer) until they can remove the tooth.Most will be willing to give you one or two prescribed pain killers.
The only other thing that may offer a little relief is a warm cloth placed on the face over the area the tooth is.
Good luck!Health Question & Answer

Orajel , Anbesol and a heated towel straight from the dryer.
also any booze, like Bourbon, Jack Daniels anything of that nature can help ease the pain. Vanilla Extract as well. I mean apply it on the tooth not drink it! just to clarify...
There isn't anything you can do to make the pain go away fully I am afraid love. I hope your appointment goes well.
You might just have to wait it out and try to keep yourself busy in the meantime so you don't think about it the whole time.Health Question & Answer

You can keep using clove oil it will work. Clove oil:Is great to use for toothaches. Apply a little on the affected tooth for some time and then rinse with warm water. Boil 5 grams of fresh peppermint in 1 cup water with a little salt. And rinse mouth well with this .Peppermint is an antiseptic and contains menthol which relives pain .Try out http://useinfo-dentalcare.blogspot.com/ for more details.
