Answer 2

Answer 3

Uh, aspirin, tylenol...?

If it is a cavity, then you can try the creams they use for babies who are teething, numbs the area for a bit.  

That is only temporary, you will need to see a dentist soon...the area can get an infection that can then go into your jaw and be even more pain and trouble!

Answer 4

oragel - you dont take it but it sorta numbs the tooth/gum and you don't feel anything. it's sorta like what they put on your tooth/toungue before they stick you when you get a filling. dont worry it doesn't hurt but it makes the pain go away

Answer 5

Motrin works for me and I also rinse with warm salt water.

Answer 6

Nothing is going to last long, but somethings can help until you get to the dentist. Go to your local pharmacy type store and purchase a small bottle of Clove Oil. Apply it with a Q-tip to just the tooth that acts. It will control the pain. Repeat as necessary. It contains an anesthetic compound that eases the pain. I have used all of the other over the counter tooth pain relievers and none work as well.

Answer 7

I know this old school but go to the kitchen and put some vanilla extract on a cotton ball.  Put it on the tooth.  This should get you through until you get to a dentist.  Just used this on my granson last night.

Answer 8

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.
