Toothache!! Please Help?!


Question:

Toothache!! Please Help?

I cant get to the dentist until tomorrow evening. I am in excrutiating pain. What can I do to dull the pain and just make it until tomorrow?

Have tried tylenol, peroxide, orajel.


Answers:

Get some clove oil and apply it to the tooth. Don't use too much or it will burn your gums, but it really does help to alleviate it.

Another thought, get some chewable baby aspirin and let it dissolve on the actual tooth. You can do this with regular aspirin, but it tastes awful. To apply the aspirin right on the tooth seems to help as well.

Last idea, at Wal-mart or K-Mart or a Walgreens or something like that, you can often find a temporary cement kit that will allow you to cement over the problem if it is an open cavity that is causing the pain. (The kit often contains clove oil, by the way, so you could kill two birds with one stone.) This is found in the toothpaste/floss, etc. section.
