what can you do for an toothache that is so bad i cant get it pulled until monday?
Answers:
In addition to all of the answers above (pick one you like and go with it), sleep with your head elevated. If you have inflammation in an area, there is more blood flow to that area. If you place that same area lower than the rest of your body, there will be even more blood in the area. This makes the area start to throb. Think about it. If you sprain your ankle, you are supposed to sit or lie down and elevate your foot to keep the excess blood from accumulating there because it would cause throbbing. If you are passing out because your nervous system has prepared you for "fight or flight" by dilating all of your peripheral vessels, which deprives your brain of blood, you are supposed to lie down with your head lower than your body to restore blood flow to the brain.
If someone has an abscess and I have just started a root canal or if they are going on antibiotics for a few days before I remove the tooth, I tell them to sleep on an extra pillow to elevate their head. If that doesn't work, they can move to a recliner or the sofa so they can keep their head really elevated. This will minimize the blood flow to the area and therefore minimize the throbbing and pain.
Go to emergency room and get pain killers.
Ground CLOVES. (Be careful not to overdo, though. Be well.
Oragel
this is what id do first take a pain killer then use clove oil on it.
I would gargle with salt water every couple of hours and just take Aleve..
I've had that problem before. What I did was take aspirin and Orajel became my best friend at that point.
tylenol worked for me many people say alleve and advil work great. I have even used tylenol after getting a tooth pulled and before and after a root canal.
try gargleing with peroxide
Ask your parents to knock you out continusly with a rock, or take some tylenonl pm, but honestly which is cheaper?
Try Ambasol, plus extra strength Tylenol.
You poor thing! I've been there. Warm compresses on the jaw, wherever it's sore, help a little. Take enough ibuprofen or Tylenol to take the edge off the hurt. If it's keeping you awake, melatonin is the best thing I've ever found to help with sleep.
they have toothache drops at the drug store that will help numb it also , i would suggest using warm salt water & rinsing your mouth with it as warm as you can stand it . you can also use the heating pad on it & it will give you relief . good luck
Local pharmacy has many tooth pain relievers I use origel liquid last time and it worked. feel for your pain God bless
oragel ,also i found lying on heating pad soothing.So sorry for u ..i know all about toothaches.
get some orajel it helps with tooth aches
You have to place a cotton ball with peroxide on the effected tooth. You should also brush your teeth on a regular basis with peroxide. Even rinse you mouth with it. Do not gargle or swallow! It is tasteless and kills millions of bacteria forms. Trust me!!
Either Hurricane gel, or Oragel, Id prefer hurricane gel but its had to find, and numbs about anything you get it on.
poor boo boo. The only immediate remedy i know is pain killers.
