well, they are best to use at home, but try those breathe right strips that go across the bridge of your nose. Applied correctly they really aid well in the opening of the passage ways, causes some pretty heavy drainage though. Prepare him for a pretty productive coughing spell ;)\n\n also, although vapo rubs do help, they are best used within a very humid enviroment. Those humidifiers can really help, as well as vapo rub applied below the nose then hopping in a hot steamy shower for a while, or even a nice hot bath. \n\n  applied pressure with his finger tips on the sinus (if his sinus are swollen they will be easy to find ) adjacent to the nose about an inch and a half below the eyes. move tips of fingers in a downward and outward motion, using as firm of pressure as he can stand. This can really help things to start moving. \n\n  GOOD LUCK

When the root pulp is dead there is no pain. Toothache is usually caused by gas byproducts of bacteria growing in a tooth cavity. The gas presses against the nerve tissue of the tooth, and causes the pain. A dentist can help that problem by a number of procedures. In the meantime take a pain killer, (analgesic), like aspirin,  tyenol etc.. Clove oil also will do the trick. It is also antiseptic. But it is not a pleasant substance.\nGood luck,\nDoc. Dan.

Try the clove and Oragel (or the like) and Ibuprofen together...don't play with the tooth or touch it...in a lot of areas there are emergency clinics if the pain gets too bad...but see a dentist in the a.m. even if it starts to feel better.

Orajel swipes ( q tips ). they taste yummy and numb the pain.\nAnd don't feed him citrus foods. That makes the pain more intense.

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.

Sleep on an extra pillow to elevate your head.  Sleep on the side that does NOT have a toothache.  If that doesn't work, you can move to a recliner or the sofa so you can keep your head really elevated.  This will minimize the blood flow to the area and therefore minimize the throbbing and pain.  This might help you make it through the night until you can see a dentist.\n\nTry an ice pack, also.  If that hurts, switch to heat.  Sorry for the guess, but I'd start with ice, which would calm an abscess.  You can even rinse with ice water.  Have some warm water standing by the first time you try it, though!

You can take Tylenol (recommended dosage)\nrinse you mouth w/ warm salt water.\n\nyou can rub clove oil on your tooth area (where pain is coming from)\n\nyou can go to the ER and get pain medication until you can get into the dentist\n\nI am not sure what exactly you have done.  If you have swelling?\nHave you broken a tooth?  Have a large cavity?  Need a root canal?  If the pain continues please see a dentist!  You could have an infection.  \n\ndental problems can cause poor over all health.

Take 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.

Need to see a doctor first could just be a sinus infection, can cause serious pain and pressure in your teeth.

Wait until tomorrow, this is not an emergency.  Nothing will be done at the ER other than wast your time and money.\nHe has hit the tooth hard enough to cause blood to squirt from the pulp of the tooth into the dentin.  Blood has iron and that is why the tooth is changing color. Don't sweat it if it's a baby tooth.  If it is a permanent tooth he may eventually need RCT (but not always) and he may want to have something done to improve the way the tooth looks.\n\nDr. R, DDS

The BEST remedy for a toothache of course is to visit your dentist...If temporary relief is desired, simple OIL OF CLOVE, avialabe at supermarkets and drugstores works WONDERS!!

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.

Tooth Ache\n\nBegin by cleaning around the sore tooth meticulously. Using warm salt water, rinse the mouth to displace any food trapped between teeth. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you use aspirin on the aching tooth or on the gum becoz it may burn the gum tissue. In the event of facial swelling, apply a cold compress to the area. For temporary pain relief, acetaminophen is recommended. See a dentist as soon as possible. \n\nBroken Tooth\n\nRinse the area with warm water. Put a cold compress over the facial area of the injury. Recover any broken tooth fragments. Get immediate dental attention. \n\nKnocked Out Permanent Tooth\n\nRecover the tooth, making sure to hold it by the crown (top) and not the root end. Rinse, but do not clean or handle the tooth more than necessary. Reinsert the tooth in the socket and hold it in place using a clean piece of gauze or cloth. If the tooth cannot be reinserted, carry it in a cup containing milk or water. Because time is essential, see a dentist immediately. \nhttp://www.livermorekidsdentist.com/problems.asp\n\nTreatment for tooth decay varies according to how severe the decay is. \n\n-Brushing and flossing with fluoride toothpaste and/or receiving fluoride treatments may be enough to reverse early decay, before cavities have formed. for more info,see the link.\n\n-You need a filling if a cavity has formed. A filling is a material that plugs the cavity hole and restores a tooth to its original shape after your dentist has removed the decay. \n\n-You may need a crown if the decay is severe and your tooth is badly damaged. A crown (often called a cap) is a man-made replacement for all or part of a tooth. Crowns are also used to treat teeth that have broken or decayed so much that a filling will not work. \n\n-You may need a root canal treatment if the pulp of your tooth is infected. A root canal removes the pulp of a tooth. \n\n-You may need your tooth taken out (extraction) if the root of the tooth is severely damaged. You may need to replace the tooth with a bridge or an implant. \nhttp://www.webmd.com/hw/health_guide_atoz/hw172598.asp\n\nThe following remedies can help soothe your tooth pain while you’re waiting for an appointment with your dentist. \n\nTry This First \n\nString it up. Sometimes, a toothache is caused by something as simple as trapped food between the teeth. These food particles actually irritate the gums, but the pain can radiate into the surrounding teeth, Dr. Stay says. So try rinsing your mouth with warm water to loosen any food particles. Then floss or use a water-irrigating device to clean between your teeth. But even if this technique relieves your pain, you should still consult a dentist to make sure other more complex dental problems aren’t contributing to your toothache, she says. \n\nOther Wise Ways \n\nGnaw a knot of Cloves. Take a couple of Cloves from a spice rack and place them between your aching tooth and your cheek—much like you’d use chewing tobacco. They can help soothe the pain, says Richard D. Fischer, D.D.S., dentist in Annandale, Virginia, and past president of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology. Let the hard seedlike Cloves soak in your mouth’s saliva for several minutes to soften them up. Then gently chew on them—like you would on a toothpick—so the soothing oils within the Cloves are released into the area surrounding your aching tooth. Leave the Cloves in place for about 30 minutes or until the pain subsides. Continue this treatment as needed until you can see a dentist, he suggests. \n\nLay on the ointment. If gnashing on Cloves is unappetizing, then consider using an over-the-counter tooth-pain ointment such as Anbesol or Orajel, Dr. Fischer suggests. Be sure to follow the directions on the label. \n\nMake some waves. Swishing warm salt water around in your mouth can help reduce gum swelling, disinfect abscesses, and relieve tooth pain. Mix a teaspoon of salt into an eight-ounce glass of warm water and use
