get some anbesol, it is in a tiny little bottle and applied topically, it works as it has a local anaestetic in it, but if you have an infection you should go and get it seen to

Oil of Cloves.........................if not...............my red pliers!!!!!!

Vodka

I used to take compound codeine.

 

An old-fashioned traditional remedy is tincture of cloves. You Should be able to get this from any good chemists. Put a few drops on a small wad of cotton wool, apply the cotton wool to aching tooth and bite on it to ensure close contact.

Sounds weird, I know, but in the short term it does work.

It is sometimes sold under the name "Toothache Tincture".

• Clove oil is a natural toothache remedy
  
• Herbal remedy for parasites
  
• Slows macular degeneration

Today in America Clove is used to treat worms, viruses, candida, and various bacterial and protozoan infections, but is most commonly used externally to treat toothache and mouth and throat inflammation. Chewing Clove will freshen breath. Clove oil is a powerful antioxidant, and is helpful in regulating the body’s use of insulin. Clove also helps prevent the breakdown in the retina of a substance called docosaheraenoic acid which slows down macular degeneration and aids vision in old age.

 

Have you got a Lloyds Chemist locally? They are usually open until about nine o'clock.

Hi Rooster and thanks.

I do have a chemist about 10 miles away which is open till 10. I drive so i think i'll take a trip down.

 

I think i remember my dad using this stuff years ago. It stinks rotten from what i remember, but worth it if it shifts the pain

 

Squarebob, your red pliers dont sound very attractive at all !!! I dont think i could ever do that, but totally understand people who do

 

Lula is anbesol the same as clove tincture as Rooster suggested ? If not can i buy this at the chemist also ?

 

Thanks guys x

Oooow !!! Thanks for that !

I didnt know raw onion could help with toothache !!!

May be trying this but think i'll take a trip to the late chemist first. x

Ouch - big sympathies for you. I suffered really badly with toothache a few months ago.

 

You need Dihydrocedeine - they send you flying. They don't get rid of the pain completely, but they do numb it. But sounds as though you'll need antibiotics as well.

 

Get in touch with your nearest A&E dept., they'll be able to put you in touch with the nearest emergency dentist. They have to see you within a certain period of time (is it 48 hours?) if you're in pain. And don't take no for an anwer!

 

Hope it eases soon.

I'm certain you won't regret it.

Right then, relief is 10 miles away.....what are you waiting for?

Toothache is horrible!

 

Do something that'll take your mind off the pain ~ It doesn't usually work but it might be worth a try!

[Robdblynd]

Hedgey's right, you do have a right to treatment by an emergency dentist.

 

My son had the same problem last year and I had to take him 40 miles to the nearest emergency dentist but within 10 mins of arriving he was pain free again.

 

Olbas oil works as well, so I understand, but oil of cloves it great. My OH swears by washing his mouth round with whisky, but as he swallows it, six swigs later he doesn't care that his tooth hurts.

 

Hope you get relief soon.

[Jeanjaquessmoothie]

Isn't olbas oil for colds??? Aren't you supposed to smell it?

 

Can't imagine it tastes too good??

[jowalshy]

Clove oil doesn't smell much better either. yuk

Once when I had really bad toothache same as you can't get a dentist I phoned NHS 24 they told me to take ibuprofen and paracetamol (but not long term) just to ease the pain. It worked.

Managed to get the emergency dentist the following evening.

Lula is anbesol the same as clove tincture as Rooster suggested ? If not can i buy this at the chemist also ?

 

Thanks guys x

 

Anbesol is available at chemists and in Tescos and Sainsburys and Asda pharmacy department, also when I had an abscess over a BH weekend I took ibuprofen and something called Paramol, NOT for TOO LONG and NOT O/D ing, my gp also advised this for when my sciatica kicks in, so you can try it in the SHORT TERM ONLY

[Hippy-chick]

Anything with codeine in it works well - paracodol or cocodomol.

[DOBBYDOG]

Thanks for all the suggestions

 

I ended up taking Roosters advice and went to the late chemist and bought some tooth tincture ( smalls and tastes disgusting ) but OMG what an instant relief.

It doesn't last all that long but really works, and i have to keep topping it up, but it's great. Ive now got cotton wool soaked in it on my tooth. I think it will get me through the night and help me sleep along with some paras and nurofen.

 

I'm gunna have to get this sorted tomorrow but am working all day. I could take some time off in the afternoon i suppose.

I actually work for the NHS ( so you'd think i'd be in a good position to get something done ) NOT !!!! No percks of the job

 

I'd much rather go through 2 days of labour and give birth:o than put up with tooth ache. It's got to be one of the worst pains EVER !!! and anyone who has experienced it will know what i'm going on about,

 

Anyway thanks again guys for the advice (with the exception of drills and pliers )

It really helped take my mind off it just having a rant xx

[mrsc]

I agree with everything you said

 

That stuff is digusting but rather that than the pain hope you get sorted tomorrow I know our emergency dentist you couldn't phone until 6pm (Aberdeen)

Don't take my word for it - but my dentist mate told me that ibroprufen and paracetomol do not interact. So, he says, you can take the recommended dose of both each day. When a mutual friend had toothache my mate suggested paracetamol, then two hours later ibroprufen, then alternate doses of each.

 

But please don't take my word for this - just something to ask a pharmacist.

 

Hope you get it sorted.
