How to ease a toothache?

Question:

Answers:
The best thing for tooth pain at home is to take 800 mg of Ibuprofen which is prescription strength. you can take this every 6-8 hrs as needed for pain. It has an anti-inflammatory in it so it will work better than Tylenol or aspirin. Be careful not to overuse Ibuprofen as it is harsh on the lining of the stomach and could cause problems. Do make sure to see your dentist as soon as possible if you are having a toothache so he or she can evaluate and do necessary treatment.

Other Answers:
If the tooth isn't sensitive, rinsing with cold water usually soothes the pain for me.
Try ambesol maybe.

Take a Motrin extra strength avoid any sugar drinks and brush your teeth after you eat something to avoid any food to attach itself on your gum and if you have insurance go to the dentist ASAP I have gone through the same but I waited and I had to get a root canal done major pain.

If the tooth isn't visible get rid of it that will definitely get rid of the toothache. If it's visible use b.c. powder and pop some benadryl until you can visit your dentist.

For mild pain you can take Tylenol or Ibuprofin. You could also try a topical like Oragel. If you continue to have pain, go see your dentist and rule out cavities or an infection. If you want a homiopathic rememdy, try clove oil.
