How do you temporarily handle tooth pain?

Medical grade Tea tree oil + tooth = no pain. Any questions?\nSeriously I have used it for years and never had a toothache pain I could not get rid of. including a tooth that broke in half and I had to wait a week to get into dentist (popcorn seed). Everybody I have ever run across with a toothache has also tried it and although it does not taste good eneryone has thanked me and nof keep some in their medicine cabinet.

you need to see a dentist, but in the mean time, take something for pain, like advil, and here's some ideas until you get there, try rinsing your mouth out with warm salt water, if there is an infection in the tooth, this will help some, do it repeatly if you have to, other things you can try is rubbing oil of clove on it, or soaking an aspirin on the bad tooth, or you can try the over counter stuff like oragel.

I'm not sure where you are at, but you can go to the pharmacy and buy something called Dent-temp, it is a temporary filling material that will help protect your tooth until you can get to a dentist.  I know you aren't supposed to, but I had to use it once myself for about 4 months.  You have to replace it about once a week.  But it only costs a few dollars for the product, and a little goes a long way.

There are numbing products available over the counter.  ie Ora Gel, etc.  Ask your pharmacist, which is best.\n\nAlso, be sure to take Motrin.  It is the most effective pain killer for bone/teeth pain, that is available over the counter.  The idea about eating ice sounds good, too!  It will help soothe the inflammation.\n\nYou do need to get in touch with your dentist.  Maybe, he could call you in a prescription, that will do you...until you can get to his office.\n\nI really am sorry, that you are in pain.  I would definitely, get the numbing products and take the Motrin...at the same time.  It should, at least, take the edge off.

I have odd nerve endings in my teeth and Pain killers don't always work. Take a 600Mg Calcium pill to help ease the pain. Sounds crazy but calcium calms nerve endings.  Take one a day and it will help you thru till you get to the Dentist!

I am a dental assistant.  If you are having a toothache, take some Advil until you can get into the dentist.  If you need to ice it that is OK, but do not put heat on it.  If you have an infection the bacteria will just grow.  But do try to get into the dentist ASAP so you don't end up losing the tooth.

Yeah, ice is great for the swelling, but how about the trauma?  Any time a tooth is traumatized it is possible for the nerve of that tooth to become damaged.  This may lead to root canal therapy (RCT).  \n\nIt is important for you to make an appointment w/ your dentist.  An x-ray will be taken and your teeth will be evaluated.  Trust me....don't wait!  You should be able to be seen right away, b/c this is an emergency situation.  Your dentist should be aware of any situation going on in your mouth at all times.  These situations are recorded and can later on be used to evaluate a later condition or happening.\n\nThis is only a precautionary measure.  Yet, an important one.  It's always better to be safe than sorry!\n\nIf you don't take my advice, then watch out for discoloration of the traumatized teeth.  Now it is definitely time to make an appointment.  The teeth are necrotic (dead) and will need further treatment.

Call the dentist who extracted the tooth and explain the pain you are still in and ask for a prescription for some pain medication.  Until then, you can take 800 mg of Ibuprofen which is prescription strength.  You didn't mention how long it's been since you had the tooth extracted, so if it's been more than about 5-7 days, get back in to see the dentist as you may have a dry socket which will need to be packed with a special type of medicated gauze in order for it to heal.  It's not uncommon for a dry socket to often hurt moreso than the toothache did.

nip to the chemist and get some Oil Of Clove and some cotton buds. Rub some on the gum and tooth with the cotton bud. Then try not to touch it for a while. Some uber strength pain killers before hand will help you get through. I have managed two days like this before. Good luck mate.

Sounds like you have a dry socket.  Since it's Sunday night, let me offer the following suggestion for tonight:\n\nBite on a moist piece of gauze exactly the way you did after your tooth was removed.  Keep changing the gauze as needed.  This will keep the air and saliva from getting in there and that is the cause of a lot of the pain.  You COULD get some benzocaine 20% (OraJel, etc) and put a dab on the gauze where it will touch the socket if plain gauze doesn't stop the pain.\n\nOf course, you already know that you need to see the dentist for proper treatment and best relief.

The sugar affects the nerves, causing pain. Brush more and eat less chocolate, and use a flouride rinse. For pain relief, dob the affected tooth with clove oil.

A heating pad would make the pain worse.  Ice pack would be better.  I also find that ibuprofen works the best for tooth pain.

You can go to a doc.  and have it either frozen off or burned off.  In either case, that will hurt like hell at first, be uncomforatable for awhile, then feel better later.

I broke my tooth a while back on a mcdonalds french fry... nice huh, anyways i didnt do anything i did get some wax for your mouth that helps it from cutting your tongue or gums, but they do have temp fillings at like walmart that will get you by until you go to the dentist but you really should talk with them alot of times if you put the busted part in your own spit or in milk (dont rinse it) they can usually put it back on....... good luck!

The only way i know..is to go to the dentist. Tell them you are in terrible pain and they will probably work you in. Till then a little ora gel may help some.

First of all you need to see your dentist so he or she can take xrays of your wisdom teeth and do an exam to determine if they are going to erupt properly and to make sure you do not have an infection. To ease the pain until then 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 as it can be harmful to the stomach. To help with the pain in of your gums rinse with warm salt water several times a day as it has a natural healing and soothing effect on the gums... use 1 teaspoon of salt to 8 ounces of water. But definitely make sure to call and make an appointment with your dentist.
