A mixture of remedies..
Matt in South Yarmouth, MA USA -
I have had a toothache for the past few days. I went to the dentist today and he said that it was most likely due to clenching/grinding my teeth at night. I have no infection, but suffer from a great deal of pain, tonight experiencing the worst by far. I have been up all night looking for remedies to use on this site and found a few used together work greatly.
1. Rinse with Baking Soda and warm water. I know that this is primarily used for infections, but it helped to ease the pain.
2. Rub straight salt on gums surrounding painful tooth/teeth. This seriously helped a great deal with the pain. It does burn/sting while it is on your gums, but stick it out, believe me.
3. Dip a Q-Tip in PURE Vanilla Extract. Rub the Q-Tip directly on the top, sides, and gums surrounding the painful tooth. Let it sit for about 15 seconds, then rinse. Repeat if desired.
These 3 remedies have not 100% cured my pain, but have made it EXTREMELY tolerable. I now feel i can get some sleep.
I hope my mixture of ideas will help anyone who tries. =]

Tooth relife
jen in ohio -OK I got this broken tooth and nerves are exposed and like most ppl I do not have the money at the moment for a dentist .. I have tried it all ib profen pain killers even went as far as methadone still hardly any relife, I tried orijel and clove oil and more thing then I can mention pains been here for almost a month I finished all my antibiotics still pain but here what I do for sleep.
First, alive and excedreen work good to help with pain .. also I took vicks vapor rub and rubed it on the outside of my face on the side that hurt, took 2 pain pills and put clove oil in my mouth layed my head on a pillow with a heating pad and laid there wishing the pain gone and after a few moments I feel asleep I found using a heating pad threw out the day and night with clove oil helps but the constant fear of the pain returning is always there. Drink plenty of power aid or gatoraid it keeps u hydrated and doesn't hurt the tooth so much.
Warning, be careful using clove oil to much and u will make the inside of ur mouth sore and raw but some sore mouth med helps that my toothache is bad and all the time so I use more clove oil then suppose to even tho the area is raw feeling but a toothache is something I can not deal with ... a supportive person to be by your side and comfort you is always helpful to any other suggestion on how to relive pain is good too.

Miserable in Wyoming
Maggie in Wyoming -
Here it is 2:46 in the morning and I am looking online for toothache remedies involving and abscessed tooth. I came across this website and as I was reading I was thinking to myself, "YEAH right!!" Well for the record, I woke up at 12:30. Around 2 in the morning after surfing the web and looking at 6 pages of remedies here, I finally went to Wal-Mart. I bought some PURE peppermint extraxct, cotton balls and baking soda. Well, lets just say I haven't had to open the baking soda. The peppermint extract has worked so well that I am 100% better. As soon as I put it on the tooth, the pain level went down to a 1 from a twenty. I definitely reccomend this to anyone. If you don't believe me, take a trip to Wal-Mart, it will change your mind!!!

Mild Toothache: Clove, Killing toothache: Straight JD's
Anthony Axford in Australia, Vic -I struck a toothache around 11:30pm one night and never got sleep all night, tried warming it on electric blanket it didn't work but reliefs a little bit, tried cloves and I know that if you put and actual clove on your tooth and drool on a tissue it will work but for this real killing toothache, I tried vodka it didn't work, I tried 2 disprin in water didn't work, I took a swig of jack daniels straight bourbon swished it around on the tooth left it for a bit, it soothed, spat it out, brushed teeth, did it again, pain killed, looked up this site and after reading a few I realized it was gone...

Red Cross Toothache Complete Medication Kit
toothpainincali in USA -You can find this at Rite Aid and probably other places too. Costs about $5.00. It has a lot of clove oil in it. I think this has the most clove oil and other properties in it that you can get without a prescription. Put that on your teeth and the pain will go away for a while.
It tastes really bad but it is effective. Also when I do this I also take either 500mg of acetaminophen or 800 mg of ibuprofren and the 2 combined usually does the trick for a few hours.

Try This It Will Work
Mira in Atlanta, Georgia USA -1 tablespoon salt, 1/2 tablespoon baking soda, mix it in 1 glass of warm water and swish it in your mouth over the toothache and instantly the pain will go away.
"Make sure to finish glass of water"
My tooth was hurting so much in the middle of the night at 3:00 AM. First I try salt in warm water, it work but for 20 min only. Then I remember my mother use salt and baking soda for her tooth cleaning, so I try same remedie but I changed it little and it work for me so it will work for you too. (For daily cleaning instead of toothpaste use mix of salt & baking soda will keep teeth healthy.)

salt water/ advil/tyelonol
Arjun in Seattle Wa -I dont know if it is a good thing. But I have been taking advi1 (200mg) and a tylenol (500mg) and then rinsing with salt water.
The salt water works instantly, by the time it usually wears off the other pills kick in.
Take only one tylenol and two or three ibprofens such as advil because they are at a low dosage.
Hope it works for you! Its working for me!!

Get MILK!
Rand in Centerburg, Ohio -I have been nursing a throbing toothache for several days now and have tried everything from Advil to Tylenol for the pain and nothing worked. Needing to eat, I ate a half sandwich with a tall glass of ice cold milk and to my disbelief drinking the milk actually stopped the pain dead. I drank whole milk and it works like a charm. Not only am I pain free but it also reduced the sensitivity I felt. Try it!
