Hey guys,
I've checked online and googled many different things for this killer of a tooth, It's cracked so it's pretty painful, not just a random toothache.
I was wondering, does anyone know of any other methods to numb the pain until I can get to a dentist.
I've used whiskey before and it worked but I'm not able to get hold of any, I've got gin and vodka, do you think it's worth a shot? (No pun intended)
Thanks
Scott

Sensodyne works every time!!!!!
salt water, onions, raw garlic, green tea, extremely diluted hydrogen peroxide. anything anti bacterial i suppose lol the last 2 work good for me but i also use them on a daily basis now and never get toothache anymore.
Just got back from the dentist, turns out there was a crack in my tooth which trapped a nerve. He told me the best ways to cure it are Ibuprofen and warm water with salt for a rinse 3 times a day.
Future reference there!

ouch I had the same thing. The thing with ibuprofen is that you're going to want to keep having it every time it wears off and too much isn't good for you. The salt water thing really helps though :) If your tooth cracks further and your toothache gets worse they might have to remove your tooth so watch out!
Take a clove oil with cotton pad and a placed it in your tooth.It get fast relief from pain and remove bacterias.
Salt water definitely helps, when I had teeth out 2 years ago I was told to have salt water to numb the aching.
Agreed with Salt water. I have a tooth that has a hole in the bottom and is a bit chipped and salt water does make the pain go away for a little while haha. Had a temporary filling too but that didnt last too long haha.
ouchie, i was kinda in this same issue over christmas. years ago my old dentist at a diff surgery thought I had a baby tooth and for some reason drilled right deep into it and put a big filling in had agony a week before christmas and my dentist did an xray in my mouth that hurt and said it was infected and i had to go to hospital for a bigger xray sea salt water and the amoxicillin hurt ALOT. Ended up having to have a huge molar tooth out 2 DAYS before christmas. Didn't get to keep my tooth though cos my dentist kept it as proof to take legal action against my old surgery since he had to keep fixing people up from there :l
Once my brother accidentally used Flexol as toothpaste. He said the taste was GAWD AWFUL, but it instantly cured his toothache O.o
Ew, salt water. Had 4 teeth out and salt water just made me feel sick. Dependent on the sensitivity of your teeth, I reccomend ice cream and to avoid hot drinks. Try sucking on a ice cube. Try ipobrufen and paracetamol. Take them TOGETHER. Also, try nhs direct if you have more problems for emergency dentists and proper advice.
I sympathise with you for the pain.
