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."

First let me say I'm sorry you are in pain. Why does it hurt? you could have a cracked tooth, so when something very cold or hot gets in there it lets you know it. Sometimes people have gum problems that cause their teeth to ache. Try flossing around the area you might have some food lodged in there. Rinse your mouth often with one of those good mouth washes that is antiseptic. Always have good dental hygiene it will pay off in later years.

You can go to the emergency room and the doctor there will write you a prescription for antibiotics and possible pain medicine. Some ER's have an emergency dental clinic. Check around for that in your area. Also, call as many dentisits as you can today/tomorrow and ask to be put on a cancellation list. If you have a regular general dentist that you've been to before and recently he will probably call in some antibiotics for you now. \nAnytime you have a toothache, keep your head elevated above your heart, which just means don't lay flat. Clove oil may also help, as pointed out above. If all else fails, take 800 mg. of Motrin every 6-8 hrs. and try to hang in there. Good luck.

They do not offer any dental services in the ER. You would be lucky to get anything for pain, as they don't give out pain meds for something that is considered non emergent.

Free may not be the best option.  I know your teeth are not the best from your existing condition but, you do not want to have bad dentistry done and end up in pain or even worse without teeth.  I would recommend doing your research and save your money.  Find the best doctor and have a beautiful smile for life.  You can contact a local laboratory to find out who they prefer.  They see many of these cases every day from different dentist. If you are stuck on free still you can contact your local university and see if they are doing research on your condition.

Contact your local or state dental association and and see if there are any dentists who provide free or reduced cost care for low-income, disabled or senior patients.\n\nCall your local health department and ask about health centers that provide dental care for free or on a sliding scale.\n\nYour local United Way may also be aware of such a clinic.  In some areas, you can reach them now by dialing 2-1-1 for "non-emergency information."\n\nGo to a dental school, if there is one near you, for reduced costs.\n\nCheck http://www.toothwoman.net to see if low-cost or free dental services are available near you.\n\nCheck http://bphc.hrsa.gov and choose "Find a Health Center" to see if there is a low-cost clinic near you.\n\nCheck http://www.nfdh.org/DDS.html to see if your state has a "Donated Dental Services" program.  D.D.S. is designed to locate dentists who will give free care to patients who are financially compromised due to medical problems.  This is a process that will take a couple of months to get your information and then arrange for someone to see you.  Not all states have D.D.S. programs.

Call around to find another dentist but most won't touch you these days if you have not been to the dentist. This is going to cost you an arm and a leg. Nothing hurts worse than a toothache. You will need more than one appointment.\n\nGood luck!\nG.G.

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."
