What is the best home remedy for a toothache?

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.

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.

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.

Ibuprofen is your best bet.  Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory.  Since you do have an abcess this will reduce the inflammation in the nerve chamber of your tooth.  The reason you have a tooth ache is b/c the nerve of your tooth is inflammed.  It is in a tight and enclosed area and has expanded.\n\nIt is OK to take 3 or 4 at a time in your case.  I know it may be hard to believe coming from an assistant and not a Dr., but if you call your Dr. he/she will say it is OK.\n\nAlso rinse with a solution of warm water and salt (if it is not too painful).  This will reduce bacterial growth and may prevent further 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.

Chamomile tea with honey is always good (and delicious!), but gargling with salt water ( a cup of warm water, a half teaspoon of salt) works best.  Tastes gross, but such is life.  \n\nMy housemate swears by chewing whole cloves of garlic, like six a day, when she's sick.  Makes you brush your teeth a lot, but helps your immune system.

*  Increase your liquid intake. (Warm tea with honey is a favorite home remedy).\n    * Use a steamer or humidifier in your bedroom.\n    * Gargle with warm salt water several times daily:  ¼ tsp. salt to 1/2 cup water.\n    * Take mild pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol®, Datril®, Tempra®), ibuprofen (Advil®), etc.\n    * Take non-prescription throat lozenges.

Antibiotic and painkillers.  Most dentists will prescribe a stronger pain med than is available over the counter.  Ibuprofen works great for relieving the throbbing feeling.  Ask your dentist about Vicoprofen.  I found this medicine to be the most effective.  It didn't make me as drowsy as regular Vicodin does.

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!

First of all you need to see your dentist so he or she can take xrays of your wisdom teeth and do an exam to determine if they are going to erupt properly and to make sure you do not have an infection. To ease the pain until then 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 as it can be harmful to the stomach. To help with the pain in of your gums rinse with warm salt water several times a day as it has a natural healing and soothing effect on the gums... use 1 teaspoon of salt to 8 ounces of water. But definitely make sure to call and make an appointment with your dentist.

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.
