Get some clove oil. Clove oil contains eugenol, which is an anesthetic.
Take a drop of clove oil and a drop of olive oil on a q-tip, then swab each tooth and along the gumline.
That'll kill the pain. And see a dentist.
get them pulled
Fight the pain till tomorrow try biting down onyour jaws
if you have some orajel it may numb it down a bit. i know they suck, i had mine taken out...
wish you the best until you get them out ;-)
btw, id stay away from the ice.
You should get them pulled.
Take 4 motrin or ibprophine. that's 800 mg all together. That should help.
Spray some Cholorseptic that you spray on a sore throat.
you will need to get them pulled.if you don't it will continue to hurt.i had the same problem.i tried all kinds of pain killers NOTHING helped.so i ended up getting mine pulled.that was the ONLY WAY for the pain to stop.
have them pulled, mine bothered me until i had them pulled then i was back to normal i was only down one day after having them extracted, just have you pain killers ready and gauze pads, you will be fine.
When it comes to tooth pain many medications will not work. Please don't take too much. I know tooth pain can be unbearable. What does work is clove oil. Go to any pharmacy and ask the pharmacist (behind the counter) for some. You should also have them explain how to use it. It is important you don't swallow any because it can numb your throat. However, if you are careful then this really won't happen and you'll be happy with some relief from your tooth pain.
I am so sorry for your pain.... I know it is painful. If you are able to take an ibuprofen product (advil, motrin, etc.), try that. Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory as well as pain reliever. Additionally, you can use anbesol on the area. At the drugstore, you can find it in either the dental or the baby section. Just a small amount will numb the area. I don't suggest using it long term, but since you are going to the DDS tomorrow, using it tonight should be okay. One last thing, the oldest home remedy ever, warm salt-water rinses. Salt water is very soothing and has natural healing qualities. You can also mix a little bit of hydrogen peroxide in with the saltwater....if the tooth is part of the way in and food/bacteria has built up under the gum that is still over the tooth, you may have a condition called pericoronitis. It gets very red, swollen and is painful. The peroxide will help "bubble out" the bacteria and will not harm you as long as you don't swallow it.
A WORD OF PRECAUTION: DON'T DO THIS AFTER YOU HAVE THE TOOTH REMOVED. (The peroxide)....
I hope you feel better soon. Sadly, the tooth will probably need to come out and that is not pleasant, either. If I were you, I would have the DDS take a panoramic film to see if any other wisdom teeth are getting ready to poke through. If so, have them all taken out at once and get it over with!!
My thoughts and prayers will be with you!
I know your going to think I have lost my mind but a older lady from the Orient told be about this little trick. It surprised me it worked. If your pain is on the right side, take an ice cube and rub the skin of your hand between the thumb and first finger. Do it untill that part of your hand gets numb from the cold. You will find the tooth pain has gotten better if not stopped, if it's on the left do the left hand. It's something like accupressure. You can repeat it once every hour for about ten minutes, but don't do it for to long you can make the nerve in the hand start hurting. I don't know if it will help you but believe me when I say I'd rather have a child than a tooth ache, and it worked for me and others I have told about it. It's worth a try and if it doesn't work for you all you have done is wasted an ice cube and ten minutes. Good Luck.
orajel is the best thing out there for tooth pain my wisdom teeth are jst know coming in and its a pain in the *** i just keep a tube of orajel with me at all times i cant wait till the come in worse they both are coming in at the same time
