Oil of cloves is a traditional cure for toothache until you can get some help from a dentist. And I'm sure there are some who would help you and set up a payment plan. Don't mess around with a toothache. Any inflammation in your body can affect many other parts of your body, including your heart.

There are some topical ointments containing Benzocaine such as Anbesol that will deaden the pain. But Don't mess around with a toothache!!

Check with your pharmacist for something over the counter. But DON'T MESS AROUND with a toothache!!! Did I make that PERFECTLY clear?  :BangHead:  FC would not allow me to put all the capital letters I needed for emphasis, but I needed them.

I got some antibiotics and pain med's yesterday. I hope this will work for me until Christmas is over and I can get a dentist.

Orajel only for temporary relief, and cut down sweet.

Sorry you have a toothache. Try pouring some heated salt into a sock and hold it on your jaw. I heard this helps the pain some. Hope it goes away for you.

If it were me, I'd stay away from sweets and get some mineral drops. I'd put a few drops in a bit of water and swish that around my mouth for several minutes.

Bad toothaches are the worst.  I hope you can find a dentist who will help you. I worked for a dentist for thirty years.  Depending on what the problem is, you might not be able to fix it yourself.  I hope you are able to get relief soon.

Have you tried getting state insurance.  I feel for you, I certainly wouldn't want to be in your shoes, I know what it's like to have a bad tooth ache, I recently went through it myself and found out I had another crazy bad wisdom tooth that I had to have pulled.

I think you should try state insurance to see if you can get some help there.  I wish the best for you, hope you get some help soon.

2 table honey, 1 table spoon cinnamon powder, mix into a paste, and stuff into the teeth and around it. this will help.
