If you can't buy an over the counter tooth pain reliever (ambesol or other topical to put on the tooth and gums), I would put ice on it.  It's only going to be temporary.  In the old days, people without medical care pulled the tooth - but that's not something I'd advocate if you can go to a free clinic.

Wisdom teeth are often impacted, meaning they are covered by soft tissue (gums), hard tissue (bone) or both.  Just as with any extraction, once teeth are removed, the body starts the process of healing the extraction site, via inflammation (sending cells, nutrients and proteins to the site of the wound) and wound healing (organizing all those things into a matrix and eventually filling in the socket).  Unfortunately, inflammation hurts, and that's why there's ibuprofen- over the counter is fine, but usualy your dentist will give you something stronger (by prescription).\n If the teeth are in your mouth (erupted), the surgical procedure will go more smoothly (most of the time), than if they are impacted, in which case more gum tissue has to be pushed around, and possibly some bone removed to get the teeth out.  One last thing about 3rd molars- they are like the wild cards of molars.  They can tilt all different ways, and have roots that twist in different directions.  Bottom line- the more hard and soft tissue (bone and gums) that have to be disturbed to remove the tooth, the more complicated the surgery, the more healing there is, and the more pain.  Make sure you ask your dentist for pain meds that are appropriate for the level of impaction that the wisdom teeth had.

Cloves and Sesame Seeds may be the answer to an aching tooth. \n\nSesame Seeds. It is believed that sesame seeds contain several pain-relieving compounds. Boil one-part sesame seeds with three parts water until liquid is reduced by half. Cool and apply it directly to the aching tooth.\nhttp://www.emptynestmoms.com/pages/eating.html\n\nTake 800 mg of Ibuprofen which is prescription strength. It has an anti-inflammatory in it so it's going to work better than Tylenol or aspirin. And make an appointment to see your dentist asap. \nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=1006022110885&r=w&is_vote_given=true&pa=BpVqD13uBHMzU.qS4xwBRZ_gdh5U7Rog8WIUtHj8jaPDnlrmj_g-

Get x-rays taken. A dental surgeon can tell from these if your wisdom teeth will have to come out eventually, and the sooner the better as they can cause problems if they are impacted. Btw, you should really see your dentist every 6 months.

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.

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!

I got all 4 wisdom teeth pulled out in 1 appointment.It wasn't done under General anesthesia,but with Nitrous oxide and I.V. sedative.Took 1 hr. but didn't know what happened.Though my doc. says that he had a hard time pulling them as my bone was very dense.I healed pretty well.I was sore for the first day and slept mostly.Didn't feel much pain because of the pain killers.\n\nWord of advise:\nTake your antibiotics and pain-killers exactly as told by doc.Also follow the instructions well.Don't brush or rinse the first day as you risk rinsing away the clots which are forming and necessary for healing.start keeping the area very clean afterwards to prevent any infection.

If you want to stop tooth pain and put your dentist out of business forever, the remedy is very simple.  No, it's not clove oil, or lavendar tincture, or anything else.  Rather, it comes in a brown plastic bottle, costs as little as a $1.50 for 16 ounces, and has been found in nearly every household for a hundred years:\n\nHydrogen Peroxide.  Take a mouthful and hold it in ur mouth for as long as you can---particularly around the sore tooth if you can and then spit it out.  Do this a few times a day for two or three days at most and the toothache will be gone--forever.  If you continue to do it as a daily routine, you'll also notice that your gums stop receding and actually build back up, your teeth get whiter, your mouth feels fresher and you don't get any cavities anymore.  Hydrogen Peroxide laughs at bacteria and then kicks the hell out of it.  You'd hear far more about it if the established medical community could make money off of it, but they can't.  It cannot be patented and is hopelessly inexpensive to produce.  Plus, if you also use it in your ears as well as a mouth rinse/gargle, you'll rarely get sick, if ever, and will rarely have allergies if you suffer from them.  The bubbling in your mouth, ears etc. is the Hydrogen Peroxide breaking down into Oxygen--bacteria's No. 1 enemy.  If any of you have children, and they start feeling ill, put a capful in their ears--bye bye flu, cold etc.  It's powerful stuff.

use clove oil. the pharmacy has it  and it's called red cross. it tastes bad, but it will kill the pain

it is an anti-inflammatory, and a lot of dental pain is caused by inflammation, so it would help.  but if you can take ibuprofen (motrin) i would take that.

You could get one, but it isn't going to help your toothache.  The best home remedy for a toothache is to take 800 mg of Ibuprofen which is prescription strength.  To rid yourself of the toothache, see your dentist.

Hi. Let me explain this to you. Maybe when you understand the science behind it, you will feel better!\n1. Having 3 Wisdom teeth out tomorrow, under LOCAL ANESTHETIC. Will it be very very painful?\nAns: Since its under local anesthetic, I am assuming they have erupted. Right? Then, all it involves is gently lifting them out of the socket. You will be very numb, and will not feel any pain Only some pressure. \n2. Really considering chickening out. Really don't want to do it.\nAns: You have to have them out at some point. Go for it! Once you are in the chair and lying back, you will feel the tension leave our body. Its ok to be anxious. But don't let anxiety stand in the way of your health care.\n3.Really hate needles/injections. Will they hurt? How many will i need?\nAns: You will be fine. Close your eyes. Think of what you like best. Usually its only the sensation of the needle and not real pain. Once you get the first, rest will be a cakewalk!\n4. will there be lots of blood? EEK.\nAns: Its your own blood! Do not be afraid! \n5. Can mum come in with me? I live in England\nAns: I do not know what the dental clinic policy is and how old you are. But your mother can come to the clinic (be in the waiting area) with you and take you home. You will need to take someone with you. Its advisable!\nYOU WILL BE FINE! JUST TAKE A DEEP BREATH. THINK OF THE DAY AFTER. \nYou will have pain meds and the clinic should be able to tell you what you need to and shouldn't do.\nGood luck!

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.

About 5.  Plan to take the pain medicine as recommended, and when you get home, pack your face in cold packs or ice bags.  The pain will not be as intense if you prevent excessive swelling.\n\nA woman I work with just had one wisdom tooth extracted, and was back to work the next day.\n\nAdditionally, your fingertips provide a natural form of pain relief for most parts of your body.  When you need some relief, firmly grip and pinch one of your fingertips.  If it doesn't provide relief, try another, until you locate the fingertip that relieves your pain.  Then, use that as a drug-free pain reliever.
