Eugenol
Jade in Indiana, USA -
You can buy those temporary tooth ache kits at the drugstore. They have a bottle of eugenol that you use to apply to the effected tooth that provides instant relief. You may have to apply it every hour or so until the pain goes away completely. The kits even have a paste-like substance that you mix a little of the eugenol to to fill holes or broken spots in the tooth.

Severe toothache!!!
Donna Birmingham in UNITED KINGDOM -Hi, I suffer severe toothache a lot, the remedy I find that gives relief for a short while if repeated is to hold a freezing cold gel pack out freezer directly on the tooth, or also a cotton wool ball soaked in vinegar and held directly on the tooth also gives relief if repeated, stings a bit but helps for short while, hope this helps...

Black Tea Bag
Rob N. York in VA -
Been suffering from bad back molar tooth pain for a few days before I could get to a dentist. I took Motrin, Aleve, Tylenol several times a day for a few days then I took a shot in the dark and tried a BLACK TEA BAG. Simply folded it, tucked it, and put it on the back of my mouth on tooth. Instantly felt relief sort of like the scene from 'The Marathon Man'. Please give this a shot if you are in agonizing pain and can't sleep.

Freshen your breath... kill the pain!
Mcgyver911 in Charlotte, NC -I had a tooth ache due to a broken tooth that felt worse than driving a spike through my knee caps... I had no insurance... worse yet, no money... grabbed the mouth wash... stung at first, but the pain started to subside... rinsed for a good 2 minutes at 10 minute intervals for the first hour... within no time I was fine...later I had a dentist end up pulling the tooth 3 months later when I had no pain what so ever... he told me that it was the worst tooth infection he had ever seen in 35 plus years... wondered how I managed to cope... only had to resort to the mouth wash treatment twice the whole time... he was amazed beyond belief, but I was feeling fine!

Swish and Spit
Dory L. in Waterbury, CT. USA -When I get a bad toothache. I rinse the area with Jack Daniels, hold it in my mouth by the sore tooth for about a minute than spit it out. This works for me 9 times out of 10.
Listerine works for me just as well. I believe its the alcohol that does the trick. Most of the time I get instant relief with out having to repeat this method. Rarely I'll have to do it more than once.

Garlic
Julie in australia -Cut up a clove of garlic in to slices then grab a slice and leave it on the tooth that is giving you hell. It will burn but after a while the pain will go away. Garlic is a natural antibiotic.

Clove Oil
Claire in Yorkshire,United Kingdom -Clove oil all the way! I was in the worst pain I've ever had in my entire life. I was taking painkillers constantly and was wanting to take them sooner than the next dose was due, I started to get scared that I would overdose by accident. My friend suggested clove oil from the chemist and what a remedy! I don't even need to take painkillers with this! Just put some on a cotton bud and press against tooth/gum and instant relief! It is actually a mild anesthetic and it tastes terrible but cares when it works this well?

Baking soda
Connie in Danville VA -Thanks for the baking soda. I have been home for the last 2 days thinking of something to ease this pain. I was ready to find a pair of pliers and pull the tooth myself until I read through the website. Again, thanks it really does help. A good tip: I try to get the water as warm as I can stand it though & after adding the baking soda: I swish it around in my mouth. It does take away the pain.

Cold Milk REALLY WORKS (well, most of the time)
A Random Person in A Randon Town -I was in the car coming home from school, when this toothache struck my mouth. I felt like I was gonna cry! :-( OMG! It hurt sooooo bad! Once I finished my homework, I didn't know about this website until I Googled it. I went on this website and found the cold milk treatment on this website. This is what you do:
1.)Get some milk out of your refrigerator (if you don't have milk, or a refrigerator, then I don't know what to tell you.
2.)Get a cup (any size)
3.)Swish the milk around the ache
As soon as you finish, your ache should be gone.
Voila! I hope you find my method useful.

Sea Salt And Warm Water
Richelle in Tampa,Florida,USA -I had a toothache so out this world for two days. The unbearable pain had the whole left side of my face sore and continuously throbbing. Orajel, tylenol or advin couldn't touch it. Then I bought some sea salt and mixed it with warm water in a coffee
cup and swished it to the side where it hurts and repeated every 45 minutes to an hour and within 5
minutes after the first round the throbbing
stopped and 2 hours later ALL the soreness and pain completely vanished. I give sea salt 20 stars!
