Answers:
Nooooo! dont do it! take painkillers! ice is the enemy of a toothache or tooth sensitvity- especially if the cavity is down to the nerve. I didnt have access to the dentise either so I took painkillers until the too broke away by itself because it was so damaged. good luck!
No, don't put ice on it.
Try swishing with some mouthwash, that can help to deaden the pain, or even swishing with vodka can help.
Also, an over-the-counter remedy like Ambesol can help temporarily.
Yes. also iphprophen (misspelled), advl, and tylonol are very good too!!

Wisdom Teeth Removal -- No Anesthesiologist?
I never found cold things to help with a toothache, although some do use it for swelling. Consider Ambesol. Make an appointment with your doctor tomorrow. If there is an abscess, s/he can give you antibiotics for it. That will help until you make an appointment with any local dentist.

Most likely ice would make it worse. Use warm salt water inside and a warm rag on the outside. You really need to see a dentist somehow to get relief.

What is a Toothache?
A toothache is any pain or soreness within or around a tooth or the jaw. The most common cause of toothache is dental cavities.
Bacteria in the mouth can form plaques that stick to teeth and form acids that eat through tooth enamel, causing a cavity. Toothache pain is usually worse when you eat cold or hot food.
Other common causes of toothache are gum disease, tooth abscess, cracked tooth, irritated tooth root, and a condition called temporomandibular joint, which affects the jaw.
Toothaches can also be a sign of heart attack, ear infections, and sinusitis.
Home Remedies for Toothache
Although there haven't been clinical trials on natural remedies for toothache to date, these are two home remedies that have been used in folk medicine to reduce tooth pain.
1) Clove Oil Compress
Clove oil contains eugenol, a natural pain killer and antibacterial. Mix 2 to 3 drops of pure clove oil with 1/4 teaspoon olive oil. Saturate a cotton ball with the mixture and place the cotton ball beside the tooth.
If the toothache involves a molar at the back of your mouth, you can bite down gently on the cotton ball to keep it in place. Leave it there for as long as possible (but don't go to sleep with it in your mouth.) Pain relief should begin quite rapidly.
Side effects
Undiluted clove oil inside the mouth can causing burning, tissue or nerve damage, and pain. In large doses, clove oil taken orally can cause vomiting, sore throat, seizure, difficulty breathing, kidney failure, or liver damage.
Children, pregnant or nursing women, and people with diabetes, kidney or liver disease or bleeding disorders should avoid taking clove oil.
2) Activated Charcoal Compress
Activated charcoal is available at many drug stores and natural health food stores.
Mix two teaspoons of activated charcoal powder with just enough water to make a paste. Apply it to a piece of gauze and place the gauze on the tooth. Bite down.
See your doctor if:
if pain lasts longer than one or two days
you have a fever
you have trouble breathing or swallowing
you have chest shoulder or arm pain
there is a foul discharge

Guys my nourishing really hurt?
Ice will make it hurt more, flush with whiskey or vodka and keep it clean. Alcohol will sterilize it. If you dont have access to a dentist, take a pain killer and try drinking some warm but not hot chamomile tea.
put something warm. Also take Motrin.
Hi, i wanna do braces surrounded by a private hospital surrounded by malaysia, how much it cost?
try this, gargle warm water with salt for atleast 3 minutes
I involve some input PLEASE?!?
To me, it is personal preference. If i have a tooth ache, it varies on which makes it feel better. I was told that cold is better but sometimes heat makes it quit aching. Another thing you might try is: Take some vodka (or mouthwash if you don't have any) and gargle with it. Swish it around the infected tooth. It may sting at first, but it does numb it and works awesome! Just remember to SPIT IT OUT:) Good luck! (i too am dealing with a toothache!)
