Oil of cloves does sometimes work. What I have done is take both Tylenol and Advil(or Alieve in place of the Advil, not with it) and used maximum strength anbesol (or some other mouth numbing gel).If you tell your dentist that you need an emergency visit they may be able to fit you in sooner. Hopefully you won't need an extraction!I hope you feel better, toothaches are awful!

Anbesol is AWESOME for the pain. I had a toothache a while back and it worked (Along with aspirin every four hours)

I am not a drinker, but the only thing that works for me is to get a stronger hard liquor like vodka or bourbon. Take about a half shot, tilt your head in the direction of the sore tooth, and hold it in your mouth over the sore tooth (do NOT swish or swallow) until your gum feels numb (this will take about thirty seconds or so), and then GENTLY spit it out. Although this is not a permanent fix and your toothache will come back, it will give you some much-needed immediate relief. Just repeat as necessary.I hope you are feeling better soon!!

You should really call your dentist back and see if they can see you earlier. You need a root canal because the nerve of your tooth is infected. If you have any antibiotics you should start taking them. You are going to have to be put on antibiotics before they work on your tooth because the infection can cause you not to get numb. If you want to just have the tooth extracted you could just call an oral surgeon to see if you could get in sooner. I had a patient use clove oil and she said that it helped her a little. I hope you get to see your dentist soon. Good Luck
