    Swish whiskey around your gums for a few minutes and spit, will numb gums and therefore numb tooth root canals

    Have it pulled. I had a tooth a couple of years which was giving me no end of trouble , had it filled , root canal and even filled again then I changed dentist and he said they taking it out was the best option. Had that done and once I saw the state of the roots it was obvious I'd made the right decision.

    Someone should have told you that, they were connected to your kidneys.

    Alternate between ibuprofen and paracetamol every two hours. That's what they tell you. But getting to the dentist ASAP is the only way. I had an abcsess last year that took a week of my life and made it hell. Never again.

    Clove oil does stop the pain - it sounds like an old wife's tale but it does work. I used to rinse my mouth with salt water then dab on clove oil with a Q tip. This calmed the pain down for hours, but long term it needs seeing to by a dentist, no dodging that.

    Agree on Clove Oil in an emergency.

    Had loads of problems with my teeth over the past few years through being petrified of the dentist but have now found one who is brilliant. I had two out on my last visit and it was over in ten minutes and was easier to go through than a filling. Good luck, nothing worse.

    Recommend H. Kelay (one of the nearest Dentists to the ground), near the White Horse. Have a couple of large Scotch's before you see him. Been going there for over 20 years no pain at all!

    When wrestling changing them for bed last night, one of my boys threw his head back with a butt a gypsy brawler would be proud of.

    Had sore tooth, swollen mouth, headache and what feels like whiplash of my neck.

    Getting done over by a 3yr old is utterly depressing

    Chew an aspirin or paracetamol around that tooth.

    Sometimes rubbing some bonjella on the gum around the tooth can help with numbing the pain.

    Last month I had to have an extraction (3rd one in a year, which is mainly due to smoking, causing the gums to receed). Spent 3 nights having to sleep sitting up in bed as lying down caused the blood pressure to increase and the throbbing was unbearable...................

    Clove oil. Get it from the chemist and keep it at home in case you cant get to a dentist.

    Bicarbonate of soda.

    If you've got toothache it usually means the roots are inflamed with bacteria.
    Bicarbonate of Soda kills the bacteria ....et voila!, no more pain.

    Painkillers like paracetomol just dumb down the symptoms for a while - they don't kill the bacteria which is the cause of the problem.


    A spoonful of Bicarb in a small glass of water to make a mouthwash, or for quicker results, just dab your toothbrush into the bicarb powder and apply to and around the infected tooth.

    Works within minutes.


    It's a natural salt, already added to many commercial toothpastes and mouthwashes.
    And of course in baking, etc ...... so there might be some already in your kitchen cupboards, or go to the baking section of your supermarket.

    Remember, Bicarbonate of soda works!

    So a nice chocolate cake will do the trick then?.................
