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."

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.

Don't depend on "natural remedies".  Many of them are just snake oil.  Instead, start by brushing and flossing at least twice a day.\n\nThen go see a dentist any way.  If you explain up front that you don't have insurance, but can pay some monthly, they may take you in as a patient.  Or they will definitely know other options for treatment that you can check into.\n\nCheck with the local county health department, or whatever the local equivalent is.  Many times dentists volunteer their services for low income patients, or do so for reduced rates.  If there's a dental school, or dental assistant program at the local college, often they will do basic exams and cleanings for a low fee.\n\nBottom line - you gotta do something.  The poster at the dentist's office is true:  "If you ignore your teeth, they will go away."

Clove oil as a natural remedy, or Ambusol if you do not care whether or not it is a natural cure. You just have to put a drop where the pain is.\nIf you have lost a filling, there is a temporary filling you can buy over the counter as well.

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.

Be brave and call the dentist.\n\nIn the meantime take Advil to help with pain and inflammation.

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.

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.
