go to grocery where flavored oils are for making candy and get clove oil taste nasty but stops pain as soon as put on tooth am using for my cavity like $1.11(Ohio price) i use that and when hurts do oragel with clove oil and if needed do Advil too.
ASPIRIN!!! It has helped me more than ANYTHING!
Try to get frozen carrots and put them where it hurst.
I am sure he feels he cant take it anymore either, a toothache is the worst pain i have ever felt. I only had to experience it one time tho lol The only medicine that that took my pain away was vicodin 750 good luck
get a bottle of mouth analgestic and 3 aleve also keep brushing , and mouth wash.
Lots of Jack Daniel's.
If you take jack daniels or rum or any other alcohol and hold some in yoour mouth till it goes numb it helps. You can just just spit it out or not
Could he go to the emergency room or an urgent care for some pain meds or could the dentist prescribe it over the phone.
Sounds like an infection to me. Get some anti-biotic, and take the full course. A dentist is expensive, but maybe worth the relief to be gained by an expert.
I agree with aspirin, but not too much. One tablet on the tooth, let it melt. It is nasty and tastes terrible but will help for a few hours . You can repeat it in 4-6 hours. You don't want to do this too often as aspirin thins the blood and can cause bleeding and bruising.
Heh, I had the same problem. I used ground clover powder. It's nasty but it's pretty strong. It won't completely take away the pain, but it will numb it a bit. It's sold in the season and spice section in the grocery store. I have heard that the clover oil is better because it's more potent, but I couldn't get a hold of any of that. I hope that helps you. You just rub it directly on the place that hurts. Like I said, it won't stop the pain completely, but it may ebb it down enough for him to be able to function and sleep properly.
You could call the dentist office's emergency service. Explain the problem. they may prescribe a stronger med (i.e. codeine), but as one who's gone thru this too many times -- give him whatever it takes to get him to sleep.
The guy who said Jack Daniels was close to the truth. Pain pills won't help much now; only sleeping will.
Tooth pain is THE WORST! dope him up and put him to bed.
Good luck to both of you.
try warm or cold rag or as my mom always said take a bayer asprin dont chew or swallow let it absorb where the pain is hope this helps
