What's the best way to take care of a toothache?


Question:


Answers:
Oil of Cloves - you can buy it in any pharmacy, it comes in a little bottle and it's really cheap. Soak a small piece of cotton wool in it, put it on the tooth that hurts and bite down on it. It tastes disgusting, but it REALLY works for the toothache, it is a natural anaesthetic and antiseptic. It only lasts about an hour or so, but you can just keep reapplying it until you can get to the dentist.

One other thing I've heard works (but haven't tried personally) is if you bite down on a wet teabag - the tannin in the tea is supposed to kill the pain. Might be worth a try.
Go to the dentist.
paracetamol
Take some pain killers and book an appointment to see your dentist.
Take aspirin & get to the dentist ASAP
Go to a dentist asap, don't risk it having to be pulled by delaying treatment!

giving it love and protection,singing la-la byes, playing in the park and simply sharing .
Well the toothache is probable a cavity so you should go see a dentist ASAP. If it is a cavity the dentist will give you a filling and everything will be fine. If it is not a cavity your dentist will give you instructions on what to do.

best of luck to you :)
seeking a dentist which will probably give you an antibiotic,
also a pain reliever until infection is over with .
Go to the dentist as soon as possible, it may be abscessed or infected which can be very serious if let go, you teeth are very close to your brain. A friend of mine let his go and he woke up one morning to find his face swollen up almost beyond recognition. He ended up in the hospital on I.V. antibiotics for a week and a half. In the mean time take some Tylenol or ibuprofen to relieve some of the pain.
You really need to go see your dentist. Your tooth is infected and you will need a root canal if you want to keep your tooth. If not then you can have it extracted. The best thing to do is to have the root canal done to save your tooth. If you have the tooth extracted then over time your other teeth will shift and move into the space. If you have any antibiotics then you should start taking them so they can clear up the infection and then you will not have any pain. Most dentist's won't do any treatment on your tooth if it is infected because the infection can cause you not to get numb so that is why you need the antibiotics. Good Luck and I hope that you feel better soon.
firstly make an appaointment to seee the dentist. bt in the meantime, wet a face washer and store it in the freezer. until it goes hard. place it on the side were its pain e.g on your left or right cheek. works for me. if you can't get to a dentist go to your GP to antiobiotics. and go to the chemist and buy a mouth wash called ceppacaine. this mouthwash contains some aneasthetict to help numb the area


good luck
