The best thing you can do at home is to take 800mg of Ibuprofen which is prescription strength.  You can take this every 6-8 hours as needed for pain but be careful not to use Ibuprofen for an extended period of time without being under a doctor's care as it can be very harmful to the stomach.  Of course, to completely rid yourself of tooth pain, you will need to see your dentist.

ahh! i remember spacers!\n\nA tylenol works pretty well. or advil. whatever. But any painkiller will work. haha. I rememebr taking a tylenol everytime I got my braces tightened. XD\n\nand do braces hurt? it really depends on your orthodontist. but yes, you usually will feel some pain. But when your orthodontist puts on braces or tightens them, you wont feel any pain at first. Just pressure and tension. haha. during that time is your oppurtunity to EAT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE because baout 2 or 3 hours later your braces will HURT for the next few days... TT_TT\n\nBut it doesnt hurt 24/7. Just when you get them tightened which is about.. once a month.\n\nbut like a said. any painkiller works pretty well.

Neosporin is good stuff.  \nThe ice pack would be useful only if there is pain.  As far as the healing process it is better to keep it protected 24/7 for the first couple of days.  Once it has started to heal, then you can give it some air.

Hi,\n\nIf it is your wisdom tooth that is coming through it is most likely to be inflammation of the flap of gum around it that is causing the problem. It can get plaque bacteria and bits of food debris stuck underneath it causing it to swell and then your upper teeth bite on it and can make it worse..\n\nFirst thing is to rinse as often as you can with hot salty mouthwash (1/2 tsp of salt in water as hot as you can stand)\nTry and hold the mouthwash in your cheek and around the tooth until it cools slightly, then swoosh round. spit out and repeat as often as you can.\n\nThe most important thing is to keep this area as clean as you can,  run your toothbrush under a hot tap to soften the bristles and apply some Corsodyl gel (from chemists) onto it massage this into the gums around this tooth gently.\n\nIf this keeps re-occuring you may need to have the wisdom teeth removed as they may be impacted, but kept clean most come through with no problem.\n\nHope this helps, and it feels better soon.

One word of warning--no sucking (straws, cigarettes etc).  I ended up with dry socket and it was terribly painful.  My recovery was drawn out because of this.  \n\nThe experts say:\nFoods should be chewed on the side of the mouth opposite the extraction. Avoid hot liquids and alcoholic beverages for at least 24 hours. In the case of difficult extractions, consume a soft or liquid diet for the first 24 hours.   http://www.medicinenet.com/wisdom_teeth/page2.htm

Clove oil or putting clove on the tooth that hurts and bite into it helps.

I am a dental assistant and honestly, yes it does hurt. Your best bet is to get a general anesthetic, (one that puts you to sleep.) When I had ine removed 3 years ago, I woke up and felt nothing because I was still under the anesthetic. After I woke from my nap however, I was in misery. My best advice is to take your pain medicine on schedule. It's alot easier to control the pain than to have to get rid of it again. Your cheeks will be "puffy" and the pain will last anywhere from 2-4 days. The nerve is not such a big deal. It sounds scary, but is in fact very common. Just avoid getting a dry socket by not smoking or drinking out of a straw and use COLD compresses. Hot will open the blood clod that has been formed after removal. From my experience having teeth removed is alot less hurtful then people believe due to the horror stories by other people. Just keep a positive attitude and don't work yourself up too much. Promise it's better then what you think. Hope this helps!!

Warm salt water 10 times a day (or more).  Warm tea bags applied to site and gentle pressure to reduce pain and inflammation.  Do not pick at the site or eat anything tiny (like rice or corn).  Eat healthy, take vitamins, get plenty of rest.    Take Advil or alieve around the clock (if able to due to medical issues) even if it doesn't hurt.  This will reduce the swelling and reduce healing time.\n\nHydrogen peroxide is a tool seam dentists use in school to tighten the gums, but it usually causes more problems than benefits, so avoid this old trick.

I used to freeze fruit juice and then rub it on my gums after my app. sometimes it would help with the swelling too. if you don't want that, just buy some popsicles. enjoy and i feel your pain and hope all is well with you!

To help heal it aloe vera gel works well (make sure nothing else is added). To help the pain, get a tube of Oragel (like they use for teething babies - works really well & fast). Otherwise, the tongue is one of the fastest things to heal in the body, so  it should be gone pretty quickly.

I just had my wisdom's out about 2 weeks ago. They STILL hurt a little bit! But yeah, at first I was taking the pain medicine basically to sleep. My dentist told me to take 3 advil liqui-gels ALONG WITH they  pain meds. Just make sure u have some food in your stomach, like a Slim Fast or some pudding is enough. That's all I could eat...that and mashed potatoes. Now, when I try to eat regular foods, it feels like my jaw is being ripped apart. I cannot open it very wide at all without some discomfort. They told me it was normal and it would go away.. OH YEAH, I also still have my blod clots..the gums are not healing over yet...I don't know when they are supposed to heal completely..I heard a co-worker say it took them 6 months to heal over!!!

I have had one wisdom tooth taken out and it was ok.  They gave me an injection and I felt absolutely no pain.\nYou would be under a general anaesthic for this and will not feel a thing.\nSurgery is not as scary as it sounds.  Infact, it is very relaxing.\nYou can always have a drug to help you relax prior to the general anaesthetic.  \nHaving surgery is an amazing thing actually.  It takes just a split second to be anaesthetized and before you know it, you are awake and wondering if they have done you or not.\nYou may feel some pain after surgery but with the right pain killers, you will get through it with no problems.\nObviously, your dentist feels they must come out.\nYou will feel better for it and so will your mouth.\nSpeak to your dentist about the fears you are having.  Speak to others who have had it done. I know my little brother in law(who is just 20) had 4 of his out recently and he is doing great.\nMy 15 year old neice had five teeth removed and she was fine.\nOf course, surgery for the first time is scary but I want to assure you that it's not.\nI find it very relaxing.  You will be in the best of care.\nTry not to worry about it.  Think pleasant thoughts.  Sometimes the drs. and nurses joke around with you to help relax you.\nJust think of it has having a nice sleep while they fix up your mouth.\nGood luck : ) Keep smiling.......your teeth will be beautiful

The best thing you can do for temporary relief of toothache pain over-the-counter is by taking 800 mg of Ibuprofen which is prescription strength.  It has an anti-inflammatory in it which will help calm and sooth the pulp (nerve) of the tooth which is causing the pain.  For this reason, it will work better than Tylenol or aspirin.  Of course, ultimately, you are going to need to see your dentist.
