Emergency toothache remedies?????

I have a toothache!!! Nay, 2 of them!!!!! One in each side of my mouth! When my wisdom teeth came in, I was so afraid of the dentist that I put off having them removed for so long that the pressure from them growing in cracked all of the molars in all 4 jaw bones. So now here I sit, 8 years later, with not one but TWO teeth that are KILLING me!!! I have tried everything...tylenol, aleve, aspirin, darvocet, cloves, anbesol, orajel, and now lidocaine patches on my face! LOL I look like a freak here! Don't laugh at me, I AM in PAIN!!! Problem... I have an appointment with my dentist Thursday, but what the frick do I do until then??? Keep in mind if you will.. I have final exams for nursing school over the course of the next 2 days. So if it will knock me out, it really isn't an option.

Emergency toothache remedies?????
Hi, what you really need to do is go talk to all your professors, the head of the nursing school, whatever it takes. How can you possibly be expected to perform by any reasonable school?


You are not actually in the REAL world yet, if you have a medical emergency you need to take care of yourself, they can let you make up your exams a couple of weeks later.

in moderation





going to the dentist is the real answer, you should have done that every 6 months for the past few decades anyway





good luck

Wisdom teeth are dangerous, get them out quick.


Try ice and then heat....fill an empty pepsi plastic bottle with hot water or freeze some to put on pain.


Elevate your head, gargle with apple cider vinegar , salt water.


Take Motrin or Advil with a pepcid AC so u wont get an upset stomach. Good Luck , u will make it, pray to God for starters.
Reply:Did you call around and see if another dentist can see you earlier? If the apt. you have is w/ your regular dentist, and you are an established patient, they may make an exception for you since you are in so much pain. They may also call in an antibiotic and/or pain medicine for you if they can't see you earlier. Either way, call around and ask to be put on a cancellation list.


Also, since tomorrow is Monday, call around 9am. Many offices will have cancellations that they would like to fill in. You could luck up on an appointment that way.


As far as getting some rest goes, keep your head above your heart. This basically means don't lie down flat. Teeth usually hurt worse at night b/c of the bloodflow. Keeping your head elevated helps tremendously.


I hope you feel better soon!


Happy Holidays!
Reply:An old fashioned remedy was to put aspirin on the tooth, but I've heard that is not a good thing to do, so I'm not advising that. By this time I think you have had your dental appointment which is really the only real solution. There is ambesol, a medicine that you can use for dental pain (you can buy it at the store). That might help some but really don't be afraid of the dentist. If you feel bad about going to dentists you may want to consider the option of having the dentist just put you out (sleeping) while your dental work is done.

Reply:yes oil of clove. Alcohol is not good for it. it actually can make it worse.
Reply:Temporary relief: take three 200mg Ibuprofen tablets and spray you pain areas with something like Chloroseptic (bottle filled with red coloured stuff that almost taste like Buckley's cold medicine at first until it freezes your mouth like when getting a needle before having a cavity removed).
Reply:I had a horrible toothache once and had to wait for the abcess to go down before they could fix it. I was taking like 8 tylenol at a time and it wasn't touching the pain. The dentist told me your body gets used to pain meds, so he said to take ibuprofen for three days and tylenol for three days, rotate back and forth, because your body adjusts to the med and it won't work any more. It worked for me. Otherwise, I don't know...I feel for you and hope you find something that works...I think tooth pain is the worst. (And I've had 2 kids and a kidney stone!)
Reply:you may want to see your doc. you may have a bacterial infection my husband went through the same thing a few months ago....thought it was wisdom teeth he was putting off...and nothing could be done because the infection was causing the pain...
Reply:clove oil does work. Get it at the health food store or a pharmacy. It will be a small bottle- brown glass.


It is very potent, so don't get any on your tongue. Just a little drop on the painful teeth. Use a toothpick or Q-tip.
