I don't think there is a home treatment for this.  If you seriously want to take the pain away go to a doctor.  It usually requires a little surgery.\n\nI feel your pain if you can't afford it.  After all I have a wisdom tooth that is killin' me every once in awhile.\n\nBut otherwise check out this link.  It has very informative information.\n\nhttp://www.mothernature.com/Library/Bookshelf/Books/47/83.cfm

Rinse your toothache away. Take a mouthful of water (at body temperature) and rinse vigorously, says Dr. Taintor. If your toothache is caused by trapped food, a thorough rinse may dislodge the problem.\n\nFloss gently. If swishing doesn't work, you can try to pry the popcorn hulls or tiny bits of meat out from between your teeth by flossing, says Dr. Taintor. Be gentle! Your gums are likely to be sore.\n\nTake a "shot" to numb the pain. Hold a swig of whiskey over the painful tooth, says Dr. Corn. Your gums will absorb some of the alcohol and that will numb the pain. Spit out the rest.\n\nRinse with salty water. After each meal and at bedtime, stir 1 teaspoon of salt into an 8-ounce glass of water (again, at body temperature), says Dr. Corn. Hold each mouthful, roll it around your mouth. Spit.\n\nTry a hand massage. When you have an achy tooth, this can ease the pain by 50 percent. Rub an ice cube into the V-shaped area where the bones of the thumb and forefinger meet. Gently push the ice over the area for 5 to 7 minutes.\n\nIn a study, Ronald Melzack, Ph.D., a Canadian researcher and past president of the International Association for the Study of Pain, found ice massage eased toothaches in 60 to 90 percent of the people who tried it. His research shows this procedure works by sending rubbing impulses along the nerve pathways that the toothache pain would normally travel on. Since the pathways can carry only one signal at a time, rubbing outweighs the pain.\n\nOil up with oil of cloves. People have been using this over-the-counter remedy for many years, says Richard Shepard, D.D.S., a retired dentist in Durango, Colorado. Most drugstores carry tiny bottles of the oil. Drop a little directly onto the tooth, or dab a little on a cotton ball and pack the elixir next to the ache.\n\nDon't bite. If the toothache is caused by a blow to the tooth, try not to use that area when you eat, says Dr. Corn. If nothing is damaged, rest for the tooth may restore its vitality.\n\nSuck on some ice. Treat the problem like any good bruise. Use ice, says Dr. Corn. Put ice on the aching tooth or the nearest cheek for 15-minute intervals at least three or four times a day.\n\nKeep your mouth shut. If cold air moving past the tooth is a problem, just shut off the flow, says Roger P. Levin, D.D.S., president of the Baltimore Academy of General Dentistry and a guest lecturer for the University of Maryland.\n\nOr keep your mouth open. Some toothaches happen when a person's bite isn't quite right. In that case, says Dr. Levin, avoid shutting your mouth as much as possible until the dentist can take a look.\n\nSwallow your aspirin. Don't believe that old-time remedy calling for placing an aspirin directly on the aching gum. This can cause an aspirin burn, says Dr. Taintor. For pain relief, take an aspirin every 4 to 6 hours as required.\n\nStay cool. Keep heat away from your aching cheek even if it makes the toothache feel better, warns Dr. Corn. "If it is an infection, the heat will draw the infection to the outside of the jaw and make the infection worse."

1.  Clove Oil was recommended in the movie Marathon Man.\n2.  Gargling you mouth with warm water and salt is the dentist approved method.\n3.  Xytol is an ingredient in sugarless gums that helps to fight cavities.  Putting a "bandage" of this gum over a open hole in the tooth keeps out cold air, and other problems.  When I used this method I was able to eat hot soup and ice cream with no pain.\n4.  Typical over the counter medications like Aleve will help with the pain.\n5.  Ora Jell is used to treat teething babies.  If you inject Ora Jell into your cavity it will numb up the sensitive tissues.\n\nFrom personal experience Trident gum works the best for me.  I couldn't get an appointment for a while and I went for an entire week with gum bandages.  Of course you want to make sure the area is clean first so have her brush her teeth.  Most of the pain of a cavity comes from external influences, anything from incoming air to food can irritate it.

takes about four minutes to go away, that is the time it takes to roll yourself a good doobie, lite up and enjoy the fact that not only is your tooth gone but also your wisdom, why do you think it is call a wisdom tooth.\n\nIf you don't like the cannabis route then a good shot of Beam black will always do the trick.\n\nWhat you say you don't do drugs or drink achohol, then you are in for a painful 3 to 4 months maybe even a year  The real pain will start in a few days when you get the bill from the dentist then it is a pain in the ass or the place you carry your wallet.\n\nYou could cut off a limb then you will forget about the pain of your wisdom tooth.\n\nWell try those remedies if they don't work next time brush your teeth twich daily and floss, floss, floss......\n\nGee when I previewed this they had put *** in place of the word ass which is a biblical term I believe for a beast of burden, is that politically correct or even legal???\n\nDarn it they did it again, lets try "pain in the mule"\n\nWell that made it, good luck again, you know what I mean...

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!!!

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

Get some ambesol. When I got my wisdom teeth it itched instead of hurting, and that's what I used. Apply it with a cotton swab so that your entire mouth doesn't become numb.

You get rid of the pain completely you are going to have to see a dentist.  For temporary relief of pain at home the best thing to do is take 800 mg of Ibuprofen which is prescription strength.  It has an anti-inflammatory in it which will help sooth the pulp (nerve) of the tooth so it's going to work better than Tylenol or aspirin.  You can take this every 6 - 8 hours as needed for pain.

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!

Take a whole clove and set it on the tooth.  You can buy them in the grocery store in the cooking section where all the other spices are.  They are cheap and do a great job of numbing the pain.  Put it on the tooth and gently bite down on it.  Keep it there for a few minutes.

Take ibuprofen/nurofen its an anti inflammitory, its the swollen gum around the tooth thats causing pain. Hot salt water mouth rinse in the area will help also. (Boil water, add half teaspoon salt, wait to cool then swill hard in area) may be sore but will help, do this every couple of hours to keep area really clean. Salt is a natural antiseptic.\nWould get a dental appt just to check if they may need to be removed. Try this though it will help. xxx

Having a wisdom tooth extracted is not always a painful experience.  It depends on the tooth itself and the skill of your dentist.\n\nThe best thing to do is to tell your dentist that you don't want to have to endure a lot of pain and ask them to write a prescription for you for post-extraction discomfort.  \n\nSleeping when you get home is the best thing you can do.  They will probably tell you not to eat or drink anything for a certain time period.  That's because the empty socket needs to form a blood clot and you definitely don't want that to come out because it protects the tissues and nerve where the tooth used to be.  For that reason you also don't want to lift anything for 24 hours after the extraction either as that could pop the clot out.\n\nA hot water bottle on your cheek may help as it will increase blood flow to the area.  I don't recommend a heating pad as you will probably fall asleep and that could be dangerous.\n\nJust remember it will steadily get better.  Sleep or distract yourself and you will be fine.

The best thing to do is take 800 mg of Ibuprofen which is prescription strength.  It has an anti-inflammatory in it so therefore it works better than Tylenol or aspirin.  I wouldn't advise any of "grandmas remedies" as they don't really work.  To totally rid yourself of the toothache, see your dentist as soon as possible.

Do NOT hold aspirin in your mouth!  This can burn the tissue and cause more pain than you are already in.  If it is an intense, throbbing type pain, you need to get to a dentist.  If money is an issue, you may want to look into dental schools in your area.  The school I went to had an emergency clinic just for things like this.  It may take longer, but the cost is usually much less.  Warm salt water rinses may help, depending on the cause, but don't be over-agressive in brushing or flossing the area because that can irritate things and make it worse.  I hope you feel better soon!

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!
