What's your best remedy for a toothache? 1

My dentist appointment is 3 weeks away and the pain is getting unreal. I hate to even think it but smoking weed seems to make it worse.

Keep your mouth clean, don't smoke. Saltwater gargling can help. There are some OTC remedies you can buy as well but all of it is going to be just very short term temp bandaids until you see a dentist. If you have an infection and massive pain I would call to get your appointment moved up as infections can be dangerous.

Sounds like the nerve is dying and a root canal is in your future.
Rinsing your mouth with salt water and booze provides some relief.

I am on the standby list in the event of a cancelation but it's already been moved up as far as it can be. Regular new patient appointments are being scheduled in January it's crazy. I will try the salt water when I am home. It's for sure an exposed nerve attached to a cracked molar.

When the pain first started I recalled an episode of Frasier where this was brought up. Very well could be my ticker too.

Since war zone medical decisions apparently apply: If you have a cracked tooth and the nerve is infected, the pain will build up to intolerable levels and then.. the nerve dies and you won't feel a thing at all.
Frequent rinsing with booze helps the nerve die.

Clove oil (eugenol) has worked well for me. Dentists often recommend it for dry socket packings. It disinfects, kills the nerve, and dulls the pain.

Seconding clove oil. I drop a bit on a cotton bud (qtip?) and apply it to the tooth in question.

Find a dental school. They usually take walk ins. They also tend to be cheap.

Clove oil was one thing I did see repeatedly online. After a couple pages it seemed to get convoluted with remedies.
I have notice a couple beers does help tremendously. Not sure if that was the alcohol chemically or BP change alleviating the problem.

It's because your gums are highly vascular and any kind of infection in the mouth if left untreated can spread into the blood and thus into the heart.

Sorry to hear that man, that sucks.
My friend had really bad tooth ache and clove oil (pure 100%) was used with great effectiveness.
Also, stop smoking weed immediately. Its only making it worst (I know, it sucks. Edibles maybe?)

When my tooth cracked and started dying it was pretty painful. I used a lot of garlic. I would smash it up since chewing was difficult and then put the pieces on my gums between my tooth and cheek and it would make it numb. I also used Advil Liquid Gels and would cut the tip off and try and squeeze the contents on my tooth and gums. This tastes like shit but numbs up real nice too.

Warm salt water rinses periodically would do a lot for me. Letting the salt water sit in my mouth & soak on the tooth for a bit.
Surprisingly, I found naproxen/ibuprofen to be quite effective at dulling the pain.
Chewing up cloves of garlic, letting the garlic/saliva in my mouth sit and soak around the tooth for a bit.
Large doses of cannabis just to relax my mind/body and keep my mind at ease/off the pain...When the pain was so bad that all I could do was lay down I'd try to get super stoned. It doesn't make the pain go away or deal with the tooth ache specifically, but it helps me to relax for sure and I can sorta "drift away"/dissociate from the pain a little bit.
Kratom might help a bit with the pain, but I honestly feel like naproxen did the trick the most.
I've been through it a few times over the years....It is the worst . Sry to hear you're going through it at the moment.
Warm salt water and naproxen helped me a lot tho for dealing with the pain...Garlic can help with the infection/bacteria and therefore lessen pain...and cannabis & kratom helped me to relax and deal with the situation and dissociate from the sharp/throbbing pain.

1. Go and buy Sensodyne toothpaste. 2. Brush your teeth with your REGULAR toothpaste. 3. Rinse 4. Put a drop of sensodyne on your index finger and coat the painful teeth with it.
Sensodyne is like teeth plaster, it covers all the cavities and microscopic cracks in you teeth that exposes the nerve.
It won't solve anything in the long run but it will stop the pain.

The saltwater rinse does seem to help keep it from throbbing a bit. Going to find Clove oil today. Thanks for all the recommendations fellas.

It’s surprising they haven’t given you a course of antibiotic before your appointment. This is pretty standard if you have evidence of a low level infection at the site.
