Oragel. You can get it an any pharmacy OTC. It's really great.

Anbesol. Clove oil. Both good.

[El Duderino]

Try Morphene or Percocet or something like that. Or you could just get drunk.

I have had good success with clove oil. It's a natural anestetic. Put a little on a clean pad between the outside of the tooth and the cheek. Gently suck the oil through.Good luck!

Definately the best solution is whole cloves from the bakery section of the store. The same types you put in hams when you bake them. All you do is break off the sharp points and put the rest between the tooth and gums. The clove numbs the area and if the problem is an abcess it will disinfect the area and reduce the abcess.

Cloves and Oragel are great. Also CHEW on an aspirin directly on the affected tooth. I have done this and it does temporarily helped!

Pray - and then call the dentist ASAP!
