Home >> Toothache
Extreme pain, couldn't tell exactly which tooth was causing the pain. Didn't have clove oil, or whole cloves but had ground cloves. I used a damp finger, dabbed it in the powder and rubbed both sides of gum as well as tops of teeth (back lower teeth area). Repeated this several times, rinsed with water and pain was gone! Has been 30 min and still no pain! Have the powder & a glass of water sitting on my nightstand just in case I need it in the middle of the night!
I dissolve salt in hot water. Then I add some hydrogen peroxide (it will cool down the water). The hydrogen peroxide foams, and flushes out any matter in the tooth cavity, and the salt water cleanses/clears the infection. May need to redo until pain/infection clears up. This works great.
2-3 large vitamin c tablets.
Many treatments are available for toothache but my teeth are not in that good of shape. After experiencing extreme hunger for many years in extreme poverty, my teeth eventually deteriorated into tiny protrusions.
clove oil works well, as does orajel. Those remedies tend to burn for many minutes after application then, do not work for long.
2 tablets of vitamin c will terminate toothache for hours or days as well as cure the infection. In an emergency, gargling with warm salt water will work to eliminate infection and thusly, pain. Also, keeping water in the mouth will close off nerves that are exposed and terminate pain. The ultimate cure: vitamin c. I should know my teeth are the Worst of all.
Ok so I have had a baby naturally no pain meda nothing and I recently was suffering from toothaches. I got 2 teeth pulled and I got dry socket. the worst pain I have ever been in, so now I'm again getting toothaches and I use clove oil the liquid long lasting orajel and also if you put peanut butter on your tooth it works very good its magic !!! It is what's keeping me sane until I can figure out if I want another extraction! Good luck to you I know exactly what your going through!!!
I woke up with the most severe toothache I've ever had. I tried tylonel and orajel, even a warm cloth but nothing seemed to be helping reduce the pain even slightly. The pain seemed even worse when I was laying down. This being the middle of the night I easily became frustrated and started researching pain remedies. The warm water and salt trick worked great I rinsed and rinsed till my glass was empty but fearing the pain might come back quick I also tried rubbing salt right on my gums. I also used Mouthwash and rinsed. At first with the mouthwash the pain intensified, but then quickly went away. Now I rinse regularly wiht mouthwash a few times a day and It's helped reduce my tooth sensitivity dramatically.
I hope this helps.
First, the salt water remedy and ibuprofen seem to work for me; also have used a sinus pain med, see below.
I have had toothache pain so bad that I was at the dentist begging for them to pull my tooth; after an x-ray the first time, we found that I didn't have a cavity causing the trouble...it was a sinus infection! The strange thing was I had NO other symptoms.
A round of antibiotics cleared it up. I've had this happen again since. I could just be strange, but it might be the cause for someone else.
My situation: sudden toothache on one side of the mouth. Just trying to make it to the next day so I can see a dentist.
It was dull pain at first then over the course of 2 hours it escalated to severely painful. Rinsing with cold water would give instant relief but it lasted only 2-3 minutes. I had both Ibuprofen and Tylenol and they weren't helping.
I took some "natural peppermint flavor" out of the cupboard, dipped a Q tip in it, and then liberally applied it all over my teeth and gums around where the pain was. A few short minutes later the pain dropped down to dull and tolerable again. So far it's been 15 minutes.
I must admit I was skeptical that peppermint would work where drugs weren't, but there it is.
Have a tooth that needs to be pulled=the infection went into my neck=yikes=4000 iu of vit d and 2000 mg of vit c a day=zinc and good food but twice a day or more a tsp of iodized salt in a little water=hold it in your mouth=bad taste=seems to rid the pain and salt kills staph and strep bacteria that infest bad teeth=good idea!
Just chew on a cinnamon stick. This will stop the pain so quick you will be eating a piece of double chocolate cake in no time...
I'm a long time sufferer of toothaches unfortunately, and one of the quickest remedeys I have found that work for me are Anbesol and 'Kanka'. Both are cold sore an-aseptic medications designed to numb the canker sore in your mouth and surrounding area, making it tolerable for eating or brushing your teeth. Both of these products have a bit more of the good ole' numbing stuff than Orajel, and when applied directly to the tooth and surrounding areas makes the pain cease almost immediately for a good bit of time. Also- drinking cold milk helps tremendously, why I'm not sure and am actually looking online to find out why! Vitamin D milk tends to work the best! Good luck- I feel your pain!!!
Take a 1/2 teaspoon of nyquil or the kroger brand called nitetime swish around the sore tooth for about a minute. I swear it is relief!! It works!!! I was leary of it at first, but it really works.
I have had a toothache for the past few days. I went to the dentist today and he said that it was most likely due to clenching/grinding my teeth at night. I have no infection, but suffer from a great deal of pain, tonight experiencing the worst by far. I have been up all night looking for remedies to use on this site and found a few used together work greatly.
1. Rinse with Baking Soda and warm water. I know that this is primarily used for infections, but it helped to ease the pain.
2. Rub straight salt on gums surrounding painful tooth/teeth. This seriously helped a great deal with the pain. It does burn/sting while it is on your gums, but stick it out, believe me.
3. Dip a Q-Tip in PURE Vanilla Extract. Rub the Q-Tip directly on the top, sides, and gums surrounding the painful tooth. Let it sit for about 15 seconds, then rinse. Repeat if desired.
These 3 remedies have not 100% cured my pain, but have made it EXTREMELY tolerable. I now feel i can get some sleep.
I hope my mixture of ideas will help anyone who tries. =]
OK I got this broken tooth and nerves are exposed and like most ppl I do not have the money at the moment for a dentist .. I have tried it all ib profen pain killers even went as far as methadone still hardly any relife, I tried orijel and clove oil and more thing then I can mention pains been here for almost a month I finished all my antibiotics still pain but here what I do for sleep.
First, alive and excedreen work good to help with pain .. also I took vicks vapor rub and rubed it on the outside of my face on the side that hurt, took 2 pain pills and put clove oil in my mouth layed my head on a pillow with a heating pad and laid there wishing the pain gone and after a few moments I feel asleep I found using a heating pad threw out the day and night with clove oil helps but the constant fear of the pain returning is always there. Drink plenty of power aid or gatoraid it keeps u hydrated and doesn't hurt the tooth so much.
Warning, be careful using clove oil to much and u will make the inside of ur mouth sore and raw but some sore mouth med helps that my toothache is bad and all the time so I use more clove oil then suppose to even tho the area is raw feeling but a toothache is something I can not deal with ... a supportive person to be by your side and comfort you is always helpful to any other suggestion on how to relive pain is good too.
Here it is 2:46 in the morning and I am looking online for toothache remedies involving and abscessed tooth. I came across this website and as I was reading I was thinking to myself, "YEAH right!!" Well for the record, I woke up at 12:30. Around 2 in the morning after surfing the web and looking at 6 pages of remedies here, I finally went to Wal-Mart. I bought some PURE peppermint extraxct, cotton balls and baking soda. Well, lets just say I haven't had to open the baking soda. The peppermint extract has worked so well that I am 100% better. As soon as I put it on the tooth, the pain level went down to a 1 from a twenty. I definitely reccomend this to anyone. If you don't believe me, take a trip to Wal-Mart, it will change your mind!!!
This kills the pain instantly, pour some in the cup then pour it on the side were it hurts keep it there 4 a min then spit out, trust me it works. I been having tooth problems 4 years.
