Emergency Tooth Pain Help!!!!?
use Dentemp. It makes a temporary filling that you do yourself. It is sold at drug stores, I know Wal Mart has it.
Reply:Keep the air out and it may help the pain. Use chewing gum. sometimes oil of cloves will ease the pain, or just get some oral gel.
Reply:Peppermint or Clove oil work well. A whole clove will work if you don't have oil available. Be sure not to bite down on it; it may cause more pain if she does.
Reply:There really isnt too much you can do this weekend. I'd suggest a large dose of painkillers followed with an alcoholic beverage or several. Drugstores sell temporary filling material in the toothpaste aisle, and its possible that could alleviate some of the pain.
Reply:Soap a cotton ball in vanilla extract, this sounds ridicules but my mother used this technique on us kids all the time. It dulls the pain. Not for long, but it does work.
Reply:I am dealing with a tooth ache right now myself, my appointment is on Tues. So I am using Kanka to keep mine from hurting. You can get it at Wal-Mart where all the dental stuff is at and it does not cost that much either. It comes in a small bottle with blue cap and a "dropper" and also comes in a "pencil" looking tube that is white and has a soft brush on it. I am using both of these. It is working good.
Reply:First off I wold absolutely NOT recommend alcohol and pain killers you could end up having to rush your mom to the emergency room. It is normally the practice for dentist to have someone on call for weekends and holidays if that isn't the case I would look in the phone book or call something like 1-800-dentist to see if there are any emergency dentist in your area. A temporary filling might be a solution I would give her whatever she normally might take for a backache or headache if the pain gets really bad I'd go to the nearest urgent care clinic if there is no emergency dentist avaiable in your area. Hope she fells better.
Reply:Obviosuly, get to the dentist as soon as possible.





I can tell you how to get rid of the pain until you get help. The hint comes from a Chinese-Canadian dentist who uses the method instead of freezing for all dental work.


Pinch the earlobe on the side where the pain is and it will disappear within 10 minutes. (The dentist attaches a clothes peg to the earlobe.) A tight-fitting clip-on earring will also do the trick. It has to be tight, and it has to be continuous.


Acupuncture in the same spot would help, too, of course.
Reply:DO NOT mix ANY pain medication and alcohol as this can have very serious or fatal consequences. Tell your mother to take Motrin to help relieve pain and try squeezing a small amount of Orajel directly into the cavity. Also a cold compress over the face close to the affected tooth can also help reduce pain.
