ouch! i'm in so much pain-my tooth feels like it's going to explode

I don't know. Dentist would know best. Give their office a call, perhaps the receptionist could offer insight.

The tooth will need to be pulled eventually.

Don't get a root canal.

do you smoke? dry socket if so.

Mouthwash was a bad idea. If you have to use it, dilute it with water. I was advised this when I had my wisdom teeth removed.

Get some clove oil, don't swallow it but let it soak the area for a minute with a q-tip. It'll numb it until you can get back to dentist.

If you had a root canal done, it is possible you are one of the few people who have extra nerves in many of their teeth....In fact, I learned this to be the case on 2 of my jaw teeth....

gargle with salt and water not mouthwash!

You probably have an abscessed tooth. Go into a DIFFERENT dentist, because yours is a fuck-wad and doesn't do his job right, and get yourself some anti-biotics. You will need a root canal. $900 bucks roughly. My wife has one right now, we simply can't afford the procedure, but at least she got anti-biotics to fight the infection.

Just had a root canal myself, and leading up to it, the only thing that would relieve the pain is ice. It sounds absurd, but try it.

OP gargle with HYDROGEN PEROXIDE!

not a joke, it will kill any bacteria, rinse with it and you'll see the instant relief

when I had a massive toothache,much like yours, thats what I did

H202....it's not the poison that the pharmacartels would have you believe

Why is it?

OP,

Do you take 4x200 Motrin bills?

Do you use anti-cavity listerine mouthwasth?

Go to an emergency room in hospital for a stronger medication !

Rinse with hydrogen peroxide and it will lessen the pain.

Omg your story sounds just like something that happened to me when the dentist fixed one of my teeth. He actually sealed in an infection, which in turn infected my jaw bone. Went back to the dentist on monday and explained what was going on, extreme pressure in the area, very hot tooth, throbbing/pulsing tooth. He had to remove it right then and put me on antibiotics.

OP, better listen to this one.... This is a dangerous situation.

I have one like that too. On the right side. And a migraine on the left.

It's the new quake activity in part. In the case of teeth feeling they are about to explode , it's often volcanic about to occur.

Watch the reports here for that activity. You should feel almost complete relief when it does. Tonight or tomorrow.

In the meantime, put ice on the outside of your cheek where the tooth problem is. It will draw infection to the surface, probably. If it does, sterilize a pin, and poke a pin hole in it. Apply ice, and when you see the spot at thae gum surface, pop it, and apply pressure with a q-tip. It will push the infection out.

Rinse with hydrogen peroxide. It will kill the bacteria causing it to swell up.

Here are a few rememdies for toothache pain. If one doesn't work, try another! Got these off the web:

Another weird thing Vicks can be used for is painful teeth or with abscesses adding a little baking soda into it and putting it on gauze.

Slice a raw onion and put the slice on the affected area of gum or on affected tooth. I found this on another website and used it and it worked wonders! Thank God, it was the middle of the night on the weekend, I didn't know how I was going to make it until Monday. Who knew, what 8 Advil and a bottle of Orajel couldn't touch, 1 slice of onion fixed almost instantly!

ASPIRIN (8-10) in a bowl and crush them with a wooden kitchen tool. add about 6 ounces of filtered water, and a little salt because it was kind of bitter. Heat it in the microwave until it is very warm. Soak a cotton ball in the solution and place the cotton ball in your mouth, in the dry socket. In about 5 minutes, you will be completely out of pain again!home remedies for tooth pain. Or....Dissolve an aspirin over the tooth.

Lost cap filling: Melt parafin and fill in the tooth.

VANILLA EXT. works fine for a toothe ache,but if you have almond extract this works even better, vanilla extract has 35% alcohol verses 37% for the almond extract believe me the add'l 2% does make a differenceIce placed directly on a throbbing tooth will also ease the pain to some extent. This is a better option than oil of cloves for younger children.

A wad of cotton wool soaked in brandy or vodka can be squeezed against a cavity to numb the pain of toothache.

You can reduce toothache pain by rubbing ice on the web between your thumb and index finger.
.

Chew a clove of garlic on the tooth. It works better than anything. Wear a gas mask after you do it.

say you from mexico, walk in to the E/R and demand the best treatment !!....You're welcome !!

Get pliers, pull out tooth, no more pain, drink whiskey

lol, yea right that will only cost op about $8,000 for a toothache,lol.

which tooth is it?

rear moler?

probably cracked and didnt show up on the x ray...

Another suggestion:

TOOTHACHE:
Make a paste of one teaspoon of cinnamon powder and five teaspoons of honey and apply on the aching tooth. This may be applied three times a day until the tooth stops aching.
.

Yes, I was taking 400 mg Motrin pills. Why?

Yes, it's the first molar.

swish and brush with baking soda and peroxide. once in the morn, once in the eve. it may hurt really bad the first coupla times, but keep going. it will kill whatever infection is bothering the nerve. you must also tell the nerve to calm down.

I live in Canada. We have dental insurance. Your country doesn't? Why would I pull it with pliers when I have an excellent plan that will cover it 100% (except specialists fees i have to pay a bit more)

I had a tooth go Bonkers on me and it was one that never gave me a problem but it was next to two that always gave me a problem so I went to the Dentist and told her to take ALL 3 out, so none of them would fuck with me any more. :D However, the One that flaired up this time, wouldn't take the novacaine so that One hurt coming out but I wasn't leaving her Office with it still in me. ;)

I'm still crossing my fingys that the pain never happens from the pulling, since the gal pretty much beat the shit out of me trying to get two of them out of me and she gave me some mighty strong pain killers to help but I haven't needed them yet. :D I'm worried the nerves will come back alive soon and I'll know why she gave me those pills but who knows? :D I can always HOPE! ;)

Ribbit :)

Ps: They were Upper Ones - #10, #11, & #12 - and #11 & #12 were impacted pretty bad and took her almost two hours to remove. :|
