Painkillers such as paracetamol can help. And of course, a dentist.

There are over-the-counter products that are marketed specifically for toothache. They come in "branded" and "generic" versions (The active ingredients are identical).

An old remedy was to crush an aspirin, make a thin paste, and put it on the affected area. Not the best tasting, but some swore by it.

Or you can try clove oil. Apply directly on tooth and surrounding gum. Sometimes it takes a couple of applications. It doesn't taste very good, but it should help the pain. You could also add marjoram oil to the clove oil.

Chewing a whole clove can also help.

Salt rinses might work; some have reported a bit of relief using that. Baking soda may also work.

Toothache comes with different level of pain. Probably most common is the minor pain brought by sensitive teeth. You eat or drink anything hot, cold, or sweet and feel a temporary pain. ibuprofen has long been the best choice, simply because it reduces the swelling that may comes with a toothache. Common home remedies additionally include applying oil of cloves to the affected area, or just rinsing the mouth with warm water or mouthwash.

But the best suggestion is to Pay A Visit To A DENTIST as soon as possible if you notice any of the symptoms of tooth abscess. The tooth doctor might recommend antibiotics to cure the infection. Continue your follow-up appointment regardless the pain stops because without a root canal or an extraction, the infection will get back.

Orajel! It can help with the pain, and strong aspirin or ib. I recently had to get a root canal and had the worst pain ever right before, so I used a warm towel and placed it on the outside of where it hurt which helped.

Some easy ways to get rid of your toothache are to simply soak it in warm saltwater or placing some ground cloves next to the tooth. Another easy way to help is to simply dip a q-tip in brandy, then rub it on the tooth.
