Answers:
I know of a couple of things to do:
1!. Make a mixture of mouthwash and peroxide, you want more peroxide than mouthwash!. Gargle it on the side with the toothache!. It will foam up but keep on gargling throughout the day!. This removes debris or infection that is under the tooth!. This is usually a good pain reliever!.
2!. You can take a tea bag, any brand and bite on it with the tooth that hurts!. It does not taste very good, but it does work!.
3!. Take an anti-inflammatory over the counter medication!. I like taking Aleve for this kind of problem, take as directed until you can get to the dentist!.
4!. You can use a product like Orajel toothache gel, and use an ice pack on the same side of the jaw as the toothache!.

Also, do not wait too long because if it is abscessed, you could get into some serious facial infections, and need a root canal!. If you have to go to the E!.R and get some antibiotics and pain pills to do until you get to the dentist!. Good Luck!! : )Www@Answer-Health@Com

Advil (Ibuprofen) 800mg is the best thing!. You can go to the ER if it is bad - they can prescribe antibiotics and pain meds in some cases, and they can numb you up with something called Marcaine or Bupivicaine which is longer-lasting than Novicaine!. Be prepared for a wait if you go to the ER but you will be seen!. you may have an abcess which would require a root canal - but an abscess is an infection causing pressure inside the tooth!.

I wouldn't recommend this to an underage person, however I have found that using Vodka as a mouthwash around the sore tooth helps numb the pain and kill any germs ---- until you can get to a dentist!.

Dont drink the vodka swish it around the sore tooth as long as you can ---- then SPIT OUT the vodka dont drink it

salt water, baking soda in water or over the counter oral (forgot the name) or aspirin!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
