motrin should help the pain a bit, you should try a different dentist.

try red cross, its like orajel but omg it works so fast and so much better.

GOTO the dentist. it sounds like you may have an infection. If that is the case, your mouth and nose are like direct portals to your brain as far as infection goes. Get it checked out right away.

It sounds nasty, but take an aspirin and chew it up and let it sit on the tooth that's hurting. Try not to taste it. That's what worked for me.

Sounds like you need a root canal. I would see your dentist and he/she will probably recomend you see and endodontist. I was and endodontist asst for years and thats what it sounds like.

the best thing to do is take pain killers until you can see a dentist

[buckeyefan1191]

If its a gum problem, mix hydrogen peroxide with some baking soda, till its a paste and brush with that. Its gonna hurt like hell but do that 2 times in a day and it feels so much better. Ifs its a toothe problem you probibly cant do anything w/o medical help.

go get some amoxycillin from the pharmacist, it sounds very much like you have an infection/abscess.

several "whole" cloves wrapped in cheese cloth. put that on the site and let it stay there for about an hour. will help along with pain relievers and oragel extra strength. also rinse with warm salt water throughout the day to relieve soreness.

pain killers

take some motrin.. and also gargle with salt water.. If it is a tooth ache and you have a cavity the salt will start healing the infection.. do it every day until the dentist and you may not need an antibiotic if it is infected.. this is a tried and true method.. my mother always said that salt water helps a soar throat and a tooth ache.. I hope you feel better.. if its really killing you after even doing this you will need to be seen on an emergency basis.. hope you feel better soon.

Call different dentist and when you are on the phone you have to really tell them you are in a lot of pain. A good dentist will make a quick appt if they know you are in a lot of pain. A tooth could be abscess and in that case you really need an appointment quickly. You could have an infection. If you can't get a dentist appt go to the emergency room you could need antibiotics.
