Some Thoughts:
- When you have a tooth ache everything else takes second place.
- Oh, and the tooth ache always happens on a bank holiday weekend, to ensure maximum pain, and remind you to go to the bloody dentist more often!
- Vodka, rubbed onto the infected gum/teeth is a god-send for pain relief. It lasts almost 3 hours and it’ll let you get some measure of rest at night.
- Have an understanding partner who’ll take care of you and fuss over you.
- Brush, floss and see your dentist more often.
- Brush, floss and see your dentist more often.
- Brush, floss and see your dentist more often.
- Brush, floss and see your dentist more often.
I’ll probably have to get a root-canal next week, the tooth is dead so hopefully it won’t be too sore. (I’m not too hopeful though..)

I’ve had excrutiating pain on the right side of my mouth for 3 days now, and I have missed a day of work, and have no idea how I have survived the other two. My steady dose of Ibuprofen is unhealthy, and really doesn’t work well enough.
This pain gives me a migraine on the right side of my face, and I cannot see a dentist till next week. They won’t see me. ahhh. well, i guess it’s anbesol and/or vodka tonight
Wish me luck guys
I have a raging tooth ache. It’s not good. I liked the comment about kissing. Here’s my tooth ache rant
ooooo ppl had ma root canal 2day not as bad as i fort but still a lot of work an pain but i think am all good now yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy good luck every1
I am going to compel my dentist today to extract the molar. He treated my tooth and there is still pain. I use salt water and pain pills.
i’ll tell u one thing. toothache made me give my life to christ. one thing i still can’t figure out is why dentists take all that money and are never there when u need them. u’d think it shoud be open 24hrs like a hospital since its a serious infection. i’m also sure a lot of people have comited suicide coz of the pain they were in just too much pain to leave a note. truth be told there isn’t really anything that can help the pain apart from dosing yourself with sleeping medicine at night to have a good night sleep. but when u wake up..prepare urself for some ass whuping pain. make sure u time the pills right. if u take them too early in the evening u’ll wake up early in the morning which is when it hurts the most and u’ll be pisssed coz everyone will be having a sweet dream and u kan’t wake them up. all i can ay is Toothaches put you in touch with God. n the only solution is to pray and pop sleeping pills till the dentist decides to look after u. olord i would give my all to stop this painnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!
i have a really bad tooth ache, i can feel my gums swelling,ive been looking through several web sites at remedys, i dont have any vodka, the last time i had a tooth ache i rinsed my mouth with hydrogen peroxide, after doing this 3 times, my tooth ache went away. noy working for me this time. so far the only thing ive found to ease the pain is sucking on a piece of ice.
sensodyne toothpaste has something in it what kills the pain so use it neat on the tooth and its wicked promise
I’ve only been in pain for two days. I lucked out. I had some minor pain last weekend. I had a cleaning scheduled for Wednesday. They took a picture, saw an abscess. Told me I needed a root canal. I called the endontist the next morning. He had a cancellation at 11:15 AM. I’ve had root canals before but they never hurt this bad. The tooth had a crown already. He had to drill through it to do the work. The abscess was worse than he thought. I had to work that night. By the time work was over I was in a lot of pain. I was able to manage with ibuprofen and 2 Tylenol II. At 4:30 am I woke up and the pain has yet to stop. The dentist was able to see me again today. He didn’t see anything wrong. At least he’s good. He has extra training in pain management. It didn’t hurt when he did the work, but the place where the had to inject the novocaine hurts. He put a few shots in my gum and two shots in the roof of my mouth. Now the roof of my mouth is sore. I’m just trying to figure out how much Vicodin I can take. I have the 5/500. I saw on one website that they have 10/660, so I figure I can take two – or take one every four hours. Unfortunately the Vicodin doesn’t work if you already have pain. What’s up with that! I need a pain killer that actually kills the pain when I’m having it. I took my pain meds at 5:00 and 6:00. It’s 8:00 and they are finally starting to work. I tried the vodka, don’t feel any results yet. I asked my husband to get the extra strength anbesol. I can’t talk to him about it. He gets upset about dental work, so I don’t want to freak him out. It just hurts so darn much.
Well, I’m glad I found this blog. It helps to know I’m not alone. I hope everyone finds relief. Thanks for the advice.
I had what I would call the father of all toothaches lastnight and this morning. Kept me up all night and almost drove me crazy. Now (knock on wood) pain free. What I did was use my leftover penicilin from a previous incedent for the infection and naproxen for the pain.I tried saltwater,ice,orajel and frozen juice bars but as soon as I finished it would flare up again. Thank god I had that penicilin which took exactly 17 hours for it to work. I now am paranoid about it hurting again since its night time and I feel a strange pulse pumping in the cavity. I think its true toothaches hurt more at night and I havnt even laid down yet. Well yall hang in there and hope ya find something that make it feel better.
OHHHHHHHHH, does it hurt!! I left work ealy yesterday and saw a 24hr emergency dentist…who saw NOTHING. I can’t believe this pain is imagined..I broke my foot badly 2 years ago and that was a walk in the park compared to this.
Cold water hit the area last night and the pain went away instantly…but when it came back, I thought I would die…I kept using cold water and then realized I had to deal with the pain and not mask it…how could the xrays show nothing?? Waiting to see my dentist today, any advice?? Help, this hurts soooooooo much. 48 hours no sleep.
I have a toothache now also, iv been searching http://www.google.ca for help and I found some stuff that does help
God!!! God or anyone!!! Please make this pain GO AWAY!!!!! And why does it always have to happen at night?? And why does it have to happen when I already have an awful cold and a stuffed up nose and a headache? ARGH! I want to complain and cry and scream! I want to sleep! I have already read this whole page through and the pain is still throbbing away, it’s coming from under my tooth inside my gums or something, can’t quite localise the spot but it’s making my whole lwer left hadn side of my face pulse with pain. I have tried an ice pack trying to numb myself, i swished some cold water on the spot and it made tears spring to my eyes, i rinsed about 15 mins ago with antibacterial mouthwash and all these remedies seemed to have SLIGHTLY reduced the pain. i am totally paranoid that the pain is about to come back i just don’t know what to do…I am considering praying now, i am that desperate! I too, am without vodka but i assure you, if i had it i wouldn’t be rinsing with it, i’d have chugged the whole damn bottle to knock myself out. another option is to do what tom hanks did on cast away…..take a rock, put it to the tooth, take another rock, close my eyes, SMASH…then pass out. I always hated going to the dentist, all my life, but when I see him for my upcoming app. i think i am going to kiss him! thank god for dentists….think of people 200 years ago…what the hell did they do? poor souls. good luck to all of you….i know i need it….ARGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had a rooth canal done yesterday on the upper tooth in my back right jaw and now my lower molar is the issue…it is hurting almost as bad as before…could this be the result of the pressure from the root canal on the top?? How long do I wait. My endontist was fabulous, returned pages at home when I was in pain, and really checked up on me from there, but now what? HOw long should I wait??
Holy macaroni. I am currently, as you may all know, pain that I never would have thought a living person could go through. The needle that he used to jelly my mouth up, well that spot, is throbbing, my tooth feels like its launching nuclear missles at my gum, its only the RIGHT side of my face, mind you. My ear feels like its shot and very sore, my head is pounding, and if by chance my tooth ache goes away for a godly few seconds, my headache makes a damn good substitue of pain. This results from a filling that broke off with a piece of my tooth, and went to the dentist yesteday and he just took out the old filling and re-filled it.. Well guess what, I didn’t feel pain. Nope, went right to bed like a good chap. Woke up 2:00AM, worst pain in my life. Its been going on for three days now, even before the dentist visit (Obviously) I am currently headed there again, since the dentist is a family friend and will accept me anytime hehe… But yeah, I really wish all of you the best, may what ever motivates you be with you in the dire times of these damned tooth aches.
-Alex
good luck everybody who finds this page the same way I did…
Currently holding a mouthful of whiskey for as long as I can is working quite well!
It’s almost 4 am, cant sleep because of this terrible pain! Ive done almost everything from ice to salt water to pain killers and nothing seemed to work! (only a few seconds of relief from the salt water gargle then the pain comes back splitting my head to two). I want to go to the dentist but I have no dental and can’t afford it right now. o my…o my…pain please be gone…i want to bang my head to the wall just to get this over with! I cant believe Im whining coz of this stupid tooth. My life is put on hold because of this. helppppppppp!
COCAINE!!!!!!I don’t ever do drugs but I’m sooo glad a friend told me about it’s numbing effects.DON’T SNORT IT!Cocaine rubbed on the gums and surrounding area or even pushed up into the tooth or gaping hole where the nerve was exposed was the only relefe I got and I tried EVERYTHING! It was a last resort but saved me. It tastes terrible but numbs it completely for an hour and you only need a tiny amount! Hope this helps any one who is suffering.
How do I get my tooth out without it hurting????
I hear people saying why me!!!!!! Well beat this one, i have a root left in the gum which is killing me one side of my mouth and a broken tooth thats killing me the other side, I know the true meaning of pain right now! God why didnt i brush my teeth more. AHAHHHHAHAHHAAHHa
I think i’m going to die i’m in so much… Almost all my teeth are broken off. My dentist made holes in ALL my teeth when I was little to make money off my mother. After words I wasn’t able to brush them without blood flowing out like a water fall. I’m in more pain then i’ve ever been in. Oh god please help…
same shit, different toilet! it’s been a week with pain so bad i don’t know what tooth it’s coming from! i feel like shooting my jaw off! 2000 mg of ibuprofen, antibiotics, handfulls of vicodin, anbesol, full tubes of orejel to the point i drooland the throbbing continues! my dentist appointment is 5 days away….i do’nt if i can make it…i think i’m dieing….the right side is so swollen that i can’t make my left side bottom and top teeth touch! someone shoot me
Tina get to that dentist and have the bastard pulled out,One side of my toothach is back, and got densist tomorrow, Cant wait.
I think the wisdom teeth on my right side are trying to come out and are killing me right now. It’s been about two weeks since the last pain episode. I also have a few cavities, and the top back molars (not wisdom) have cracked, the one on the right side is pretty much half gone (the inside half) and sometimes cuts my tongue. Good thing is that it never really hurt…until now that the wisdom teeth are pushing out. But even then I’m not sure if that’s it, and I can’t afford to go to the dentist right now. I think I’ll try the vodka deal. Mom told me to try sunflower brew (with actual flowers, not sunflower seeds :-P), but that is only for cavities, so it wouldn’t help me much, but might help someone out there.
i cant imagine pain any worse than this. im dancing around here pouring ice water into my mouth. its the only thing that helps. i thought it was bad yesterday. its hitting me with monster truck force. i get a root canal in 4 hours. thank God. i cant take this much longer. ive taken vicoden, percocet, ibuprofen. when it gets to this point nothing helps but ice water..more ice water continuously. it helps a little bit.
The ice water wasnt helping much anymore, so i graduated to ice directly on top of the tooth. I just got back from getting the root canal and I am pain free…at least until the novacaine wears off. Advice to anyone experiencing this kind of “Off The Charts” tooth pain, Ice directly on the tooth and get a root canal ASAP!!

Been to dentist three time in last week still in pain ,no hole no fillings lost just said gums shrinking, help still in pain what can i take for this ,,,,
I’ve got severe crohn’s disease and I’d rather have a year’s worth of my bad guts than have to deal with the toothache I’m having right now. It started yesterday, I was training a new guy at work and it just hit me, back right, upper wisdom tooth, a spike of cold electric pain that radiated all around my upper jaw. It’s unreal how much this stuff hurts, I never ever expected it to be like this.
But the fear of what it was is very much diminished by the fact that this site exists with all these comments. I don’t feel alone in this anymore, and I’m very very very much looking forward to trying some of the suggestions on how to alleviate the pain, especially since I won’t be seeing the dentist for a week.
Take care.
Tooth pain is always worse at night…arrrgggg! I have used listerine…brushed my tooth severely with salt and tooth paste. I have used warm salt water, ambesol extra strength, 3 aspirin melted on the gums, tooth picks to shove the medicine up higher,…no vodka…no money for these items, the tooth ache caught me broke, my cheek is swolen and my sinus is stopped up on that side but the dentist can’t see me for three days. I have pulled my own teeth but NOT without help from whiskey…to say the least it hurts sooo severely to pull your own teeth because there is a point of no return…a time of panic when one pulls their own teeth. I have been looking at the pliars…but feel a little chicken…can I go through that again???? I didn’t use pliars but used a tooth brush handle for leverage and my other teeth to bite down and break the teeth. I have pulled about five of my own teeth because my tooth ache always comes when I am broke or on the weekend. I thought about hospital emergency but decided the cost is something I will not soon forget and will not do anything for me because they won’t actually pull the tooth. I think a person could die from tooth pain but that is not comforting is it? I have envisioned putting a rope around the tooth and having it tied to a truck and the truck peeling out…lol I can’t wait for my appointment. I have tried the peroxide, ambesol, salt, tooth paste, listerine, vanilla extract, aspirin, tylenol,…all are good but are temporary. I read where one person had taken 10 tylenol…they must not do that…tylenol is a killer…it will damage your liver beyond repair. Tylenol is very dangerous to overdose on so please pass that on…it is not something that will forgive you like aspirin.
Hope everyone is helped by the suggestions.

Oh my god. I have been in pain for 3 weeks. Went to the dentist. he started a root canal…that releived the pain for almost a week. Went back for him to finish today. I am in so much pain tonight. as much as before the rootcanal. the root canal itself did not hurt…I had lots of novacaine or what ever they use. I wish I had some now. I have the SAME pain as before the rootcanal. I dont think I should have this severe pain. I am so sick of taking ibuprofen. i just took 800 ml. and it has barely touched the pain. I probabl have no kidney function my now. I am crying myeyes out right now. I have 4 kids and a fulltime job. I have got to ge some rest! I cannot continue like this.
I had a molar on the right side extracted two weeks ago. They put in stitches so I’ve had to chew on the left side. I also have a bad tooth on the left and now it hurts so bad I think I’m losing my mind. The whole left side of my face hurts, including my ear! I’m taking vicodin, 800 mg ibuprophen, Goody powders, 200 mg ibuprophen, aspirin and orajel and it still hurts. I can’t get it pulled till I save up $300 dollars and I can’t save any money ’cause I keep missing work because of my tooth. I’m sitting at my desk crying my eyes out right now. Please help! What can I do to get some relief?
My whole mouth feels like a bomb went off in it. Funny i have 3 kids,3 tattoo’s,been poked with the needle in my spine 6 times, ( with each child twice},eleven holes in each ear,had my eye brow done,and been caterarized 3 times. But this tooth ache tops them all. And funny im afraid of the denist. HA
Stick a clove of cut garlic in your mouth next to the painful tooth. It should take away the pain soon. I’ve left it in hours at a time and it works like crazy. And its cheap too.
will some one please help me with my tooth and i can’t drink vodca cause im olny 11.
I NEEEED HELPPPPP.DONT WANNA GET MA TOOTH PULLED OUT.. ONLY 15 FEELS WORST THAN A BULLET HOLEE… AND WAT DO I GOTTA DO WITH THE VODKA DRINK IT OR RUB IT ON THE TOOTH THATS HURTIN.. PLEASE CONTACT
I have had decent shape teeth all my life.Well up until a year ago.This last pregnancy drained the calcium out of my body,or so my dentist and doctor says.I have the worst tooth ache and this would be the second one I have ever had.Before I would take advil like something aweful and do the anbesol thing.This time the pain is unreal and leaves me very grouchy.It will be taken care of in due time,(when my dentist gets back from vacation).I have tried the vodka,asprin,anbesol,everything,even tried to get drunk,(don’t take much because I don’t drink)and pull it out myself.Yea…that made it so much better…..NOT!!! For those who have heard if you soak a cotton ball in anything numbing and shove it into the cavity or pack it tightly on or around the swollen gum/tooth that hurts to stop the pain”…DON’T DO IT……It makes it hurt more in most cases anyway.But anyone have any advice on how to stop the pain,please share….Also, what causes a tooth ache is when the gums and nerves around it to get infected by decay or other.When the infection is gone then the pain will usually be gone as well.
A-HA….I found one that works!!!!My husband had some private stock rum by C.M and i tried it by rubbing it on the affected area and it went numb.Nope no feeling.Tase horrible made me gag, but no pain.I think I will keep this nast stuff with me at all times.
HELP!! im in severe pain with this stupid toothache, i have an appointment in 3 months to extract 3 of my wisdom tooth, in the meantime they are hurting like MAD!!! ive tried everything, painkillers, vodka, salt, ice, (the ice works a little, i crush it on the side of ma tooth and it numbs it) NOTHING ELSE IS WORKING!!! i even tried taking nuerofin painkillers ++ and they didnt do anythin!!!!!!!!!!!!! the whole side of my mouth is just in pain, (i will try the garlic one and see if it helps) anyone with more tips pls get in touch!!!!!!
I managed to catch the “crappy teeth” gene handed down to me. Both parents, sister, grandmas and grandpas etc., all had there teeth out at a young age, and I am down to only having my bottom teeth left with a denture on the top. I had the top row taken out about 5 years ago and had been feeling fine until about 4 months ago when the bottoms started hurting me like crazy. Went to a dentist to get them looked at and this new one said that a big part of my problem was that the enamel on my teeth had never properly formed and went on to go into more detail. The outcome is really that the teeth have a limited lifespan, and the pain I was feeling was similar to having exposed roots.
Had a lot of problems getting a dentist to see me, then a bigger issue with the dentist refusing to extract them and wanting to remove only a couple, root canal 4 more, and then try to strengthen the remaining teeth with fluoride. It was pretty obvious from how much pain there was, and the opinions of a couple other dentists to find the best solution, that the teeth needed to get pulled.
Those of you reading this know how much pain there is for having one tooth giving you problems, let me tell you having 10 of your teeth trying to kill you is 10 times the fun. You get that feeling of chewing fire whenever you try to eat, your earache making your ear feel like it is going to bleed, muscles tight and tense causing pain and headaches. Here is what I typically try to take to dull the pain down some:
– Tylenol 3. If you can get a prescription of these they help a ton. I try to limit my use of them as they can cause havoc with you body some and you build up a resistance after a bit. Helps numb the “surface” pain, deeper the hurt the less effective it can become, but still great to help combat the secondary effects of the pain like headaches.
– Extra-strength Anbesol LIQUID. The liquid version of this is great, put some on a Q-tip and let it soak on the spot that it hurts. Can get it more directly to the spot of the pain then blindly trying to get the gel to it. Found it does not numb my cheek or tongue as bad as the gel does, but it does numb the throat a bit.
– Sensodyne! Use this toothpaste religiously, but only the ORIGINAL PINK one! The newer Sensodyne toothpastes use a different formula then the original variety, and do not provide the same amount of soothing (I found this fact out from talking to the dental surgeon). Use it three times a day and it will help.
– Fight the infection. A lot of my pain was caused by severe infection. You can feel that when it aches in your jaw, parts of your mouth that should feel fine, earache, headaches. Go to your doctor/clinic and get some penicillin-like prescription. I take APO-Amoxicillin 500 mg. You take three a day for like ten days. I feel the effects on the first day of taking them, and you are usually good for 15ish days after you stop taking them before the pain comes back. Not a long term solution but if you have severe pain and had it a while, odds are its infected. Eat yogurt while on it to get active bacteria back in your gut.
– Only drink water. Cutting out any sugars or other pain causing agent just stick to water. Do not drink the new flavored waters however; the flavored water have some sugar or maybe its the flavoring itself that’s sweet, but that will soak into your teeth and cause a lot of pain if you have sensitive teeth. Stick to the plain old water.
– Salt water is your friend. I swish with it 2 – three times a day, helps take away infection and bacteria. Swishing with Vodka does work, but not recommended before/during work!
– Go easy on the solid foods. Any time you have sore teeth any use of them is going to aggravate your pain. I try to limit myself from eating any solid food until supper. I have a Carnation Instant breakfast (the shake kind that you mix up), once you mix it microwave it for about 30 seconds to warm it up so the cold milk won’t hurt your teeth. I have two Life brand “complete meal replacement shake” which tend to fill me up (I am a big guy, so one may do for you). Then at supper I will eat a normal meal, not having to use your teeth all day can sometimes mean you can have a less painful meal.
– Stop eating chips or other snack foods. The constant munching motion, even if you are chewing on the other side of the painful area, can aggravate your mouth. Switch to having some cereal, something you don’t have to crunch much. Mini wheat’s were nice and easy, so was Special K. Try to stick away from cereals like sugar crisp as they will cause you pain.
– Robaxacet. This will help relax your back and muscle tension, will also help relax your jaw muscles which will be pulling tight. Take about an hour before going to bed.
The tips above help keep me going and help control the pain, hopefully it will help someone out. I know I mentioned a lot of name brands above, but tried to list the products people would maybe recognize.
I’m sorry for all of you with the bad tooth pain. I too have a sore tooth, and it’s one that’s already had a root canal, so I don’t know what to think. FYI, I haven’t had a cavity since I started drinking diet soda almost 3 years ago, maybe 4. Maybe I traded one set of problems for another, but the teeth are happy with the switch.
I took a toothache last Wednesday – I can honestly say I know how you people all feel – I was so bad I kept taking Co Codamol and Paracetamol at 6 hourly intervals- and still this didn’t work.. I have also been on amoxcyllin for the last 4 days and I can still feel the pressure in my Wisdom ttoth with the infection .. I can say though that rinsing your month with salty lukewarm water does help and rubbing on a toothpaste like Sensodyne also helped.. I am back to the dentist on Thursday – hopefully for extraction as the dentist says the toth isn’t worth saving — Good luck to you all – I really know how painful it is !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tooth pain is so bad nothing is the same i have broken bones and it does not feel this bad, but i found clove oil to be good, i have herd it can damage nerves, but place it on your sore tooth, with a bit of cotton wool, and it does work a little, plus pain killers, and then masterbate i dont know why but it worked took my mind of it and let out some frusration.
I am in INCREIBLE pain.I have 8 hrs till the dentist office opens up and I will be there waiting to beg for mercy so they will take this thing out of my mouth.I cant call it a tooth anymore its porecelin hell fire! I have an exposed nerve in my back molar on my left side.My cheek is swollen,my eyes are swollen and its radiating up and down my jaw and to the rest of my gum line.This is unreal.WHY dont they have a dentist emergency room???? I have tried Vicodin..Anacin….now Tylenol PM,toothache drops,cold compress,warm compress…. NOTHING WORKS.I feel like I could pass out it is that extreme.I need to find my zen like state and zone out of my body.If I had weed or crack maybe that would help but Im not a druggie.This could make me one though.Lousey Vicodin is CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pray for me I get it pulled this morning please!
woooo fake filling from the dentist..the dentist put in fake filling for about 2 months and i felt relived even during the process that shit didnt hurt 1 bit.. it actually tickled alil
wow. nothing in my life has been more painful then this. I am a big tough guy and this has me face down crying out of frustration and pure agony. I am on 4 vicodins, half a bottle or orajel and now I am drinking scotch in hopes that I will get tired. I already took a sleeping pill/ vodka on the tooth and warm salt water and nothing is helping me! I am terrified of the dentist but tomorrow will pray that they can get me in and take out my 4 impatced wisdom teeth =[ My whole jaw and neck and ear hurt, this is pure torture. Good luck to you all I know I need it to make it thru this night “3am now”

I’ve had Toothache/Earache and occasional headaches for 5 days now, i feel like going to a boxing club just to hope my teeth get punched out. It started as a broken tooth but never had problems with it for months, but now all of a sudden its hit me with the mother of all aches and i dont have a dentist to goto. Oh well i guess all i can do punch myself until im unconscious.

This pain sucks bad! I got this toothace friday and decided to wai to see if it will go. NEVER DO THIS EVER, go straight to the dentist, I have never been so happy to see my dentist. He couldnt see what was wrong with it from the x-ray and looking at it and has given me penacilin as he thinks its an infection. I went to the “emergency dentist” on sunday and they said they thought it was a tooth at the back and filled it with a temparary filling because basicaly theyre an ass and too lazy to do a normal filling and said my normal dentist will have to pul a real one in even though he is shut until monday (today). So I am still in agony and hoping to god this penacilin works fast and kills the infection if there is one. Specificaly the pills are called Amoxicillin Capsules BP. The only thing that helps the ache is ice cold water, I have a cup for sippin and a cup for spittin. But if i stop this cicle the pain is INSANE for about 30min then it calms down to a dull ache, I have earache and all kinds. I hope this goes soon because its so horriable, the pain is crazy bad.
