Question

What best works for a tooth-ache?

Answer 1

I had this problem last week... try "Red Cross" its at Walgreens 5 or 6 bucks, it helped but had a horrible taste, and burned like h**l on places it wasnt meant to be, Anbesol works really well, but both of these only last about 10 to 20 minutes. I used a narcotic pain reliever, but Motrin helped a lot, take 4 of the 200 mg ones to equal 800 mgs, take it every 5-6 hours. You can also try a hot wash cloth on the side of the face where the tooth is, or cold if that feels better. Sorry hunny, I hope you get help soon, I know how you feel.  

Answer 2

I would say salt water. Rinse for 15 minutes each day until the pain subsides.

Answer 3

rum

Answer 4

Take some BC Powder, it dissolves faster than pain-relief tablets, and thus gets to work faster. I can't function without it. Clove oil applied to the area of pain will give instant relief, but doesn't last long.  

Answer 5

stanback powder works really well, it eases up the pain, worked for me.
