Help i have bad toothache!?
I'm so sorry, try holding warm water in your mouth. unfortunately, you need a dentist, not a drug :)


Good luck

Reply:You can try gargeling with hydrogen peroxide and some water. About half peroxide to half water.





Or





Gargle with the apple cider vinegar. I've done this and it works decently. It doesn't beat a vicodin, but it's good if you have nothing.





OR





Dip an herbal tea bag into distilled water then press on the tooth





OR





You can press a clove of garlic against the tooth. It will burn terribly but it will go away reducing swelling.
Reply:try wetting a wash cloth with really hot water, as hot as your skin can stand. put it on your cheek for 10 to 15 minutes. Ibuprofen works well if you have some but try the hot compress if you dont.
Reply:I don't know waht will make it better but if it is in fact heat like alot of people are telling you then that tooth has a severe nerve problem and will more than likely need a root canal. I worked in the dental field for 7 years and every time a patient had a tooth ache that heat would make feel better ended up with a root canal or extraction . I hope I am wrong for your sake though!! Good luck %26amp; I hope you feel better!
Reply:listerine and poroxide does help. I have had these problems also. mixing listerine and poroxide and rinsing helps keep infection down. Do not swallow. After you have done this ambisol helps to numb some of the pain. I also take IBprofen during this. It does work.
