I have tried icing, Listerine, but the pain won't go away.  It absesssed but I don't have the money to go to the dentist.  Is there something that will help the pain?  I don' t have clove oil either.   Please help I am in pain. :)

First of all, NEVER hold aspirin on a tooth. It contains acid which will damage the enamel of your tooth.\n\nThere are community centers to help low-income people with dental emergencies. If you have an absess, you need to seek professional help now. The infection can spread to the rest of your system and mean serious health problems.\n\nCall your local dental society. If you are in the US, try looking up your state dental society and ask them for community outreach programs. Chances are, there is a sliding-scale clinic which can help you for a reduced fee.\n\nIf you had a broken arm, you'd find a way to fix it, right? This is just as serious.

if you want a home remedy that does not require medicine take 3 whole cloves and chew them just a little and keep them on the gum where the tooth it that is hurting if that is not numbing it use more cloves  then  \n\nwhole cloves can be found at a local grocery store if you don't already have them  they are in the spices section and they can have a strong numbing effect \n\ncall a dentist for a scheduled  check up

Eat some ice.. it won't make the pain go away, and the food won't taste the same, but you'll most def enjoy some of it.. Good Luck. :)

Before you sleep take aspirin or a pain reliever. I just put ice in my mouth and keep it near where the pain is. It usually numbs the pain, and it dissolves so there is no clean-up!

Use a mixture of essential oils of peppermint, helichrysum, clove, wintergreen, lavader, and euclyptus. These all have pain numbing effects that can be used in long timeframes without any negative side effects. Additionally if you have bad muscle tension this will helpwith that too, this mixture doesn't only numb pain but it helps achieve a balnce in your muscular system so you heal up whats causeing the pain. Also if youend up being sensitive to the oil mixture wash it off with olive or almond oil, DO NOT USE WATER!!! Water pushes the oil further into the skin where as the vegetable oils will dilute them. Its rare to have reactions, but if you do use less of the oil or dilute it before application with either of the before mentioned vegetable oils. Hope this works for oyu.

Honey,I feel realy bad for you. I can't think of anything around the house to help with the pain. Your going to have to get up and go to the store. Look in the isle where they sell stuff for babies."ORAGEL" for babies cutting teeth will help stop the pain. Please get the one for babies,so you can use it without making yourself any sicker. They sell it every where. GO!!!

Oh, I feel for you, I dealt with tooth pain for many years before finally having them pulled and getting an upper denture. Drink from a straw, nothing too cold or acidy. Get some over the counter tooth ache jell. It will help calm the pain, and if you are not allergic, advil worked great for me. Advil/Ibuprophen is a nonsteroidal antiflamitory agent, so it will reduce inflamation. I also had problems with infection, so get to the dentist ASAP for propholactic antibiotics. You dont want infection so close to your brain, could get really bad quick.

the one that works for me is: firstly, i took a 500mg pain reliever for 2 days-for less intense pain. secondly, i always brush my teeth with sensodyne toothpaste & after that, i gargle with an antiseptic mouthwash Listerine (orange) and thank God, it definitely a big relief on mine!\ni hope that you achieve the same result too! goodluck!

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!

Don't put Neosporin in your mouth, it could be toxic to the stomach. If not could make you real ill. If you do happen to attempt this stunt and anything happens please call the poison control center. My advice would be this:\n\nTry sea salt soaks, and peroxide. I would hold off on Listerine because it has alcohol in it and might irritate it further. Salt should help bring the abscess out and take alot of the soreness away. The IB profin should keep it from getting really inflamed. Also if you can bear it, take a handful or a nice big pinch of salt, and put it directly on the sore! Leave it there for as long as you can stand it, then rinse with salt water or peroxide. (just careful not to swallow) It will most deff. bring the abscess in your mouth out quicker than if you just let it heal, it will probably take about a week or two to heal fully. If the abscess breaks be careful not to swallow any of the infection because it will make you sick and dizzy. Rinse well and maybe place a cotton swab over it (Depending on how bad it is) to keep the infection from running down your throat and you digesting some. GL with this, I've had abscessed teeth before, and it's no fun. You really need to see a Dentist if possible, but if this is out of the question...try the soaks and stuff and continue with the antibiotics and IB profin for pain. You'll get better soon, and if not seek medical attention ASAP! Best wishes

Oh man you need to get them out ASAP.  Seriously, its only going to get worse.  I remember one time the whole side of my face was swollen, I couldn't eat, talk, I could barely even swallow.  Go to the dentist as soon as you can, it'd be the best bet.  So yeah, the pain is normal, and it sucks.  Good luck!
