I had the worst tooth ache this morning and I used the warm salt water and it really helped[at least most of it]. thanks for the great tip!

its been a rough couple of days, barely any sleep what so ever.. so becoming slightly delusional. the salt water has helped in the past but at this point its not doing much but leaving a wonderful salty after taste, whats worked to help up until yesterday was Listerine no other mouth wash does as much as that stuff does.. im going to see about gettin a clooove thing for my tooth pain i here that is one of those things that will make a bigger differ and help me sleep at nite so fingers crossed this gorrid pain will supside just a little so i can sleep

kim girl you are a trooper...this is my first root canal,,and i have to have surgery..my gum is over my tooth and im in pain..and i can't take it! you had 16 girl you super woman.

Mixing baking soda with warm water helps pretty good too for pain.

I have a very serious fear of dentists so I'm looking for anything that will work for my toothache. I chipped a part of a molar and its not infected or something because it hurts very badly. I'm trying the salt water thing once every hour and it seems to be working. That and tylenol, I'm hoping will do the trick. I don't know what else to do.

Okay well i try hot salt water that only work for 10 minsin then i try oragel that didnt work so i used sensydion tooth paste to fill my hole the swish brandy in my mouth i slept like a baby have a wonder pain free day

tooth ache-health tips

I have a broke filing and i believe it the tooth is abcessed the pain is almost unbearable I used oralgel, took 800 mg ibuprofen, 2 500mg Hydros, and started a Zpak of Azithromycin and it was still throbbing!!! I tried the home remedy of putting 2-3 drops of Vanilla Extract on the tooth and gums it helped greatly but only for like 5-10 minutes.....I then took 2tsp salt and 2tsp baking soda and mixed them together then I took a cotton ball and dampened it and then dipped one side in the mixture and then put it in my mouthe between the cheek and the infected tooth and leave it there overnight or for several hours at least and put the remainder of the mixture aside for later if needed....the pain has almost completely gone and its only been like 10 min....it is suppose to draw the infecting out to a head so that you can pop it and let it drain but be sure to SPIT OUT THE POISON THAT COMES OUT DO NOT INGEST IT.....we will see if it works at least the pain relief part I can say does work we will see about the rest in the morning.........hope this helps

Trying the tea bag and Cinnamon and Honey have been in major pain for months on end now. Praying for us all!! Thanks for all the tips, hang in there everyone~

If the pain is due to an infection, such as an impacted tooth, use Goldenseal or Oil of Oregano. Either of them will work much better than the antibiotics that the dentist will give you. Tea Tree Oil toothpaste will also help fight the bacteria in your mouth.

years ago i had a hole in my lower jaw tooth due to the filling coming out of it, it started throbbing like crazy ,the only treatment available to me at that moment was to put a drop of liquor directly into the tooth,it worked !!the pain never did return ,eventhough i did'nt go to a dentist for some weeks after that ,hope this helps somebody.

had a filling replaced a month ago and was fine for 3 weeks then it started to hurt when i chewed so went back to dentist who said everyhting was fine. filling fine, no infection etc but if it continued they would do a root canal. I thought it was weird if there was nothting wrong why wold they do a root canal? Feeling a bit untrusting of NHS dentists. Trying the teabag trick and salt water now so hope it sorts it out.

When my tooth had a bad cavity, NOTHING really worked short of acting crazy rolling around on the floor crying in front of my 4 year old niece. To be honest, Aleve worked the first dosage. But didn't work anymore. The meds the dentist prescribed didn't even ease my pain a little. whatever home remedy ingrediants that I had or could afford to buy didn't work. Orajel worked a little at first, but then I kept having to reapply 10 minutes later. Until it too stopped working. Then I warm water was the only thing to help. Then that stopped and cold water started working. I literally had to keep a cup of ice cold water in my hand sipping until the water got too warm in my mouth and the throbbing rushed back. Finally I let the pain hit me, and I couldn't do anything but writhe on the floor in pain crying, until my body gave out and I fell asleep. Woke up the next morning and the pain was gone, and I got my dentist appt and started my antiboitics before getting my root canal. Now I'm having sensitivity in that tooth, but unfortunatel I am currntly uninsured. That's why I am doggedly looking for a fulltime job to contunue my treatment. Tooth pain really is hell on earth.

I had tried warm salt water all day, have oragel, ibuprofen, and not any of them worked. Right now I am trying the cinnamon and honey. after I brushed my teeth until gums were sore, rinsed mouth out good then put cinnamon and honey on done that about 5 mins ago, which time is right now 9:21 pm it took the pain away a little bit. but was told it takes time. right now I do hope it works because that is all i have.

I used the tea tree oil as a mouth wash and I was fine, I was a little nervous not to swallow it but besides that it was fine

i've literally tried everything down to perc30's NOTHING will take this pain away ):

I broke a tooth in half and was in the worst pain I'd ever felt. The tooth went absess and I tried everything. Here is what actually worked to get rid of the pain and infection. First put a dry teabag in your mouth and keep it there at least an hour, then rinse with warm salt water and chew a clove of garlic. They both take a little while to kick in but the pain relief is worth it! And please don't chew pills, it can do permanent damage to your gums! Hope this helps

Thanks soooooooooooo much for all your tips, will try a few of these. Had a desensitizing filling put in about a month ago and to go back and get top done. For the past week i have been in agony and pain now too severe to sleep! On painkillers i shouldn't be taking as have had a stomach ulcer but if i end up in hospital for that then so be it! Have dentist on Wednesday anyway but hopefully these tips will get me by til then. Pain lifted alot on Saturday but clearly Vodka was doing the trick then :)

I had a root canal over a year ago but haven't been able to afford the crown. The temp filling has vanished so the hole is open. I also have a tooth above that one that has a large filling and recently the tooth broke. So I have pain in both areas and it's difficult to say which one is the culprit, maybe both. I have no dental insurance so for now, I use oil of oregano. I put 1 drop directly on my toothbrush with toothpaste and then brush my teeth with it. It helps a great deal.

I have always used peroxide as a mouthwash. Years ago I had some teeth pulled and the dentist suggested using peroxide while my gums were healing and I continued to use it everyday. It will stop the pain immediately, but you have to keep applying it with a Q-tip or cottonball.

I am moving to the phils Cebu, in August, can I buy a Water Pick tooth cleaner there, seeing as the power is different than the USA

I've used warm salt water, no help. Lots of asperin, ibuprofen, naproxen. Silver water, clay. Got to a point where nothing helped. I used the ground clove, with a little water twice. Got some relief, but didn't last very long. Then I mixed ground clove, cinnamon and honey and this worked great! I'm now able to think. Still tender, but if I can keep this level going I'll make it till I get into a dentist. Of course, how I'll pay, I don't even know.

I need three root canals but can't afford to go to a dentist. In order to kill the pain, I tried salt water, vodka, raki(very strong alcohol, baking soda, mouthwash, toothpaste and leaving it on. Chewing Onion.. ......................... Havent tried garlic or clove oil, what I found works best for me is: 1. to immediately take a panadol as soon as you start to feel pain................. ............................................... 2. get a tablespoon of honey and smother it with cinnamon and then moving it into the problem areas (or holes) Repeat 3-4 times. ..................................................... 3. If that still doesn't kill the pain, then insert Tabasco sauce into the hole or problem area. .. That works great for me as I can now think better .................................. 4) avoid coffee at all costs, even if you think its getting better and smoking. ( I think im going to quit after this). ............ 5. Everyday use your fingernail to scrape away at the grit, which is usually located and floss everyday until you can afford to go to a dentist.

I have heard that tree tea oil in toothpaste and mouthwash can rid a person gingivitis. Does anyone know about this. I used it when I had a tooth infection and it went away. It seems to be a good natural product.

tobasco is great, the heat of the chillie will kill any germ or infection and give tempory pain relif.

Just had a painful not with an abcess on the inner gum and root canal infection. Tried everything because I am a pain wuss. Oil of oregeno cleared me up in 5 hours. No pain and swelling going down. (I popped the abess BTW before taking the oil)

Never chew up an aspirin or any pill for that matter, it can and will hurt you. For an abcessed tooth, I've found that 1000mg equivalent tablets of odorless garlic taken evry 4-6 hours will reduce, and even kiil the infection without the smelly side effects. Ibuprofen is wonderful for the pain ,especially when taken on an empty stomach. I would eat at least some toast in an hour to prevent stomach ache. Vitamin C boosts the immune system and assists it in fighting the infection. And a DRY tea bag placed btween the cheek and the infected tooth will draw out the infection. Rinse with salt water and peroxide to kill and remove the infection from the tooth itself. It worked for me and I'm going to the dentist soon to have the teeth that are bothering me removed. Good luck and Blessed Be!!!

I have researched tooth pain recently because I have about 5 teeth that need worked on at the moment. Not only can I not afford them, but going to the dentist is hard on the body as well. Teeth will heal themselves naturally if you allow them to. If you draw out the infection, and stop eating sugar, they will heal. Of course in order to get rid of infection you need to brush and floss and gargle. But things don't need to get expensive. *Baking Soda for brushing and gargling. *Colodial Silver, the good kind, for gargling and ingestion to rid the body of harmful bacteria *Oil of Oregano *Vodka for a mouthwash *Vanilla for a mouthwash, although it leaves a really bad aftertaste, it gets rid of the pain *Xylitol is wonderful and I believe it tastes better than sugar *Licorice Root, the herb not the candy, will destroy the bad bacteria *Garlic, eat for the infection a couple times a day *Keep your toothbrush clean. Boil or soak in something that will get rid of bacteria. Avoiding harsh chemicals of course. *Brush immedietley after eating, as well as floss. There are a lot of little peices of food that get wedged in your teeth that brushing can't reach. *STOP EATING SUGAR. Refined sugar is deadly. Google it to find out, but I believe it is the #1 reason America is a nation full of sickness. Hope this helps ;)

Wish me luck my husband has a bad tooth ache hope these helps thanks

I have a cracked wisdom tooth and the doctor gave me tylenol 3 and antibiotics. Everything is fine during the day but at night nothing will help me sleep through the pain. I have had now 3-4 sleepless nights the tea tree oil works ok but the taste is annoying but let's see if the salt water works!

Trust me warm salt water rinse works best. I've had 16 root canals it know tooth pain.

I have done the salt water thing and it has helped. Take ibuprofen to reduce swelling, which reduces pain. Orajel, if you are lucky enough to be able to make contact with affected area. Salt water is more effective with time, keep up with it and it will have better results after an hour etc. So, ingest ibuprofen, swish salt water as mouthwash for guaranteed improvement. I have heard chewing a tylenol helps..I've tried it, it may have helped a bit, but stayin on the toothache with salt water definitely gave me longer stretches pain free throughout the days. I had to do it when I was out in the bush, ibuprofen and salt water got me through an absessed tooth. I think in 3 days?

dying with pain here...just tried salt with water..i really hope it will help..otherwise Im up for Ancid (Pain Killer)

water pick it with listerine/water mix.... its hurts, but more often than not, whats has really cause your pain is food that got jammed under the aching tooth. Follow up with orajel/tylenol regimin because it will throb a little, but pain should subside somewhat immediately, and completly by an hour or two.

My wife is Philipino and right now she has toothache and much pain in her mouth. We are here is Cebu. What natural remedies do you know of that I can use before I get her to dentist in morning

i was having a terrible toothache and i seemed to find the pudding was a nice ease of pain for awhile.

The warm saltwater really will draw the infection to a head on the gum which in turn will often "pop" giving instant relief. May sound gross but if you have ever had a "true" toothache, any relief, anyway possible is great!

here isa few things to help thy worked for me and im a baby when it comes to toothaches first one take a tea bag get it went and stick it in ur mouth were the sore tooth is and hold it there it help draw out the pain.... next one take rum or whisky and put some in ur mouth and swish it on the side the tooth is on then hold it there long as possible it helpd infections and stop pain .... orojel pm stick ome on a cotton ball or galls and hold it there it helps numb it.... so does a crushed pain pill and place it on the tooth helps to
