Non-natural will be Orajel to temporary dull it, but I don't know about natural... But what's scarier, someone looking at your teeth for about an hour and fixing the problem right then and there in a minimally invasive manner, or said tooth escalating to a much worse situation, causing so much pain you can't work/function, that tooth falling out or even needing a root canal?

Oil of cloves is very good. You get it from the chemist and put it on some cotton wool and press it onto your tooth. Then go to the dentist. It's worth it not to have any pain.

If the pain gets bad enough you will go to the denist....Sometimes if you have a cavity, its the only choice

Beer or weed or both at least you can sleep..........
Clove oil can be bought from Boots which is good

Only one cure,Dentist.

clove oil is really good, but don't use to much, put it on with an cotton bud, it numbs the pain instantly.

oil of cloves do the trick. However dentist is your best treatment.

In extreme cases when the patient is as scared as you are the can put you under local anaesthetic while working on your teeth. Ask your dentist if its available for you.
Good luck!



edit: I see but than you need to find the psychological root of the problem, it sounds like you are having a panic attack when it comes to going to the dentist and that's not right

i hope you will find a solution soon, take care

Nettyone is right. But make sure you get the clove oil in the affected placed.
However if you have an abscess it might not help, you need antibiotics for that
See a dentist, if you haven't got a regular one you'll have to use the emergency dental service, unless you can afford to go private. I don't know if a doctor would prescribe for a dental problem, but that is another delaying option.
If you have an abscess it needs treating before a dentist can touch it, as anaesthetics do not work if there is an abscess present.

oil of cloves is only good as a temporary solution, when the pain becomes unbearable it wont work, im sorry to say the dentist is the only answer to this question and once you have gone you will be glad, they arnt that bad its the faer of going thats worse, hope you get it sorted soon,theres nothing worse, good luck.

You can only dull the pain with every remedy on the market. It will not cure the toothache at all. You must be brave and go to the dentist. Just think-one visit to the dentist could cure it for good-or you can keep taking painkiller's for temporary relief which will not be very good for you. GO TO THE DENTIST! You know it make's sense! Good luck.

Orajel

get that oral jell stuff it numbs teeth for up to a mounth

i too dislike the dentist,but as you're experiencing,toothache has to be the most painful thing ever.yes clove oil will help,but please find the courage to visit the dentist,let them know you're nervous too,they can help in most cases,and this pain isnt going to get any better without their help.

Ive had the same problem, i have a deep cavity where my filling fell out..a week ago and up till 2 days ago ive been climbing the walla with the pain..cloves oil is brilliant and so is oralgel..if the pain gets too intense then dentist it will be...if yah wanna turn to pain relief paramol or nurofen works wonders..

I got an toothache after my dentist went private.
For me the pain was really bad and the dentist after inspection gave me some pills to reduce infection.Which really worked.But the actual dental appointment apart from seeing the big needle was
fine and a great relief.I still have the tooth but no nerve and so no pain and a very large filling.
I would suggest tricking yourself go to the shop next door and go past dentist then nip in look around and leave do this a few times so used to it.If you feel at all panicky leave go somewhere comfortable then repeat.This will work

Your best bet is to find a dentists practice that deal with very nervous patients on a day to day basis. They may even sedate you, if your very very nervous.
