What is the best thing for a major tooth ache?


Question:
My boyfriend has a major tooth ache that is hurting really bad I have tried almost everything help!!!

Answers:
If you can't get to a dentist right away, have him place a whole clove (first softened with water), against the spot that hurts.

Eugenol, the active ingredient in cloves that give them their characteristic smell, acts as a painkiller.
Applying clove oil should help. From http://aches.in/toothache.html
advil liquid gels 2 if bad, however you can't take more than one kind of med at a time. So wait 4 hours from the last time you took a pain med. Its the penicillin that gets rid of the infection in your tooth. Dentist gives u prescription.
if it hurts really bad you should go to a dentist quick. If you just leave it it may get really serious and lead to worse problems
Go to the drug store, there is an ointment (anbesol) that is sold that you can put on it,kind of numbs it temporarily
Go to a dentist and have it pulled.
That will permanently kill the ache.

Also a sedative, such as valium will ease his nerves, which in turn will ease the aching nerve in the bad tooth.
Antibiotics are something to think about as well.
