Tooth pain with cavity... Go to the drug store or Walmart and go where you find the all the tooth stuff. You are looking for this stuff to stuff in your cavity.

You will want to get some oregano essential oil or garlic oil will work. I think oregano oil works better but I'm bias. LOL

You want to put the oregano oil or garlic oil on your gums, rub it in and do this every 2-4 hours until the swelling goes down and the pain quits.

You want to clean your tooth as well as you can especially the cavity and then take the Den Tex and fill the cavity, following the instructions. And make sure you pack that thing because you are "sealing" it so bacteria can not get into it and cause infections until you can get to a dentist.

I have been known to take 8-10 ibuprofen, 200-250mgs (regular ibuprofen whatever mgs is), every 4 hours but usually it's every 6 hours. And you must eat something with this amount of pills or you will get sick. I usually eat a piece of bread or a few crackers with peanut butter. A snack to help the aspirin stuff in the pills.

The oregano oil will taste like black pepper. So be aware of that when you use it. I don't mix it, I use it out the bottle.

To make garlic oil, take 10 garlic cloves and chop up into small pieces. Put into a couple tablespoons in a small sauce pan. Cook on warm setting or lowest setting you have. Do not allow the garlic to change colors or toast at all. You want to seep the "goodness" out. Slow heating and you will smell the garlic. LOL This is also great for ear aches/infections. Works like a charm. Put a few drops in the ear, rub. Ear infection goes away. I use olive oil for this.

For pain. I actually use cayenne pepper if I'm using a topical. I tried orjel and clove oil and those just seemed to make my tooth hurt more when they wore off. But the cayenne seemed to numb it for a while and it didn't seem to hurt as bad either. And by default, the cayenne also helps the oregano or garlic oil "goodness" to heal also. Yep, I've done a lot of experimenting with my painful teeth at one time before I ended up getting dentures. LOL Hate the dentures too. Hate them.
