What other than crushed aspirin for toothache can I use?
my last upper wisdom is rotten and is so much painful day and night.I just wanna know how to calm down the unbearable pain at the moment,and I decided to see the dentist tomorrow because this pain is really killing me. thanx I’m wiseman manana in johanesburg,katlehong,sonwabo in South Africa.
Ichibanarky, I have to make a comment here…although they used to tell people to put an aspirin on the tooth for a toothache, now it is no longer recommended. It is too traumatic to the tissue surrounding the tooth, the aspirin burns the surrounding tissue. Also, if there”s swelling involved (and there probably is due to the decay processing moving to the root. Use Motrin (Ibuprofen) and it may help with the inflammatory process going on as well as the pain. Its good your seeing a Dentist, because unfortunately it will only get worse.
If the tooth is rotten, then not too much short of painkillers are going to help the pain, but you can try a few home remedies.
-brandy soaked cotton ball on the tooth -crushed garlic on the tooth -crushed aspirin on the tooth -put a large dab of sensodyne toothpaste on the tooth and try to keep it there for as long as possible.
You should consider seeing the dentist as soon as possible. If the tooth is infected then you’ll need antibiotics to clear it up.
Toothache solutions
Orajel

If you don’t have access to a pharmacy, below are some home remedies:
-
Using Icepack: Ice offers excellent numbing properties. Hold the ice around affected area and try to compress it there. Most often, the pain gets reduced as it is excellent in suppressing pain at nerve endings.
-
Get fresh peppermint (approximately 5 grams), add it in one cup of water and boil it, add half table spoon of salt. Make the water lukewarm and drink it. When ingested, this solution acts as pain killer and can eradicate other pains like headaches.
-
Using cucumber: Get cucumber from any vegetable stores, cut it into thicker slices. Hold these pieces on and around the tooth that is paining and it will start working to give soothing effect. If cucumber is refrigerated, it is better as its very chillness acts as catalyst to its soothing effect.
-
You can try out swig of whiskey over the irritating tooth. Once the gums surrounding absorb some quantity of alcohol, it delivers a kind of anesthesia to the affected area which results in lessening the pain.
-
Using oats: If toothache is experiencing the presence of abscess at gums then holding oats there can draw out the puss. The pain will be reduced.
-
Using dried peppermint leaves: Place a small stack of dried peppermint leaves around the aching tooth for 15 minutes and then spit out. Repeat this procedure 10 to 15 times a day. Peppermint acts in a dual way. First, it brings the abscess to the upper surface if there any and then acts as pain killer.
-
Using real vanilla extracts: Get a cotton ball and put some real vanilla extract on it. Apply it on the inflamed location and you will be amazed to find out that it numbs!
-
Using Clove: From ancient times, clove oil has been one of the regular instant therapies. If you are not able to find the clove oil, then search your kitchen shelves to find out few cloves. Try to squeeze this towards the painful area. Clove being analgesic in nature will reduce the soreness.
-
Asafetida: Another miraculous pain killer! Take a half spoon of it and mix it with bit of lemon juice to make the paste of it. Make this paste Luke warm and apply the mixture with help of cotton ball.
-
Use of Iodine: just a drop of iodine put on the tooth do the job. But you have to be cautious and you should not swallow it.
-
Oil of Oregano: Although it tastes bad and leaves a burning sensation behind after application, it has got natural antibiotic properties.
-
Garlic: Make a paste of garlic and add some rock salt to it. Make a homogeneous mixture to apply on the affected area.

I hope you do not take offense,
To that that's gone before;
'Tis only that it's my two-cents,
And not one penny more. §;o)
Oh yeah, if you have any liquid Benadryl put some on your finger and rub around the tooth and tissue around it. OR put a small amount in your mouth and just hold it in that area for about 30 to 60 seconds This is also good for teething babies–put it on your finger and rub over gums–what little they end up swallowing won’t hurt them, it actually helps them to relax and as theý gum pain goes away they”ll be able to sleep a little better. Orajel (for adults or children) doesn’t work very well if the tooth is extremely decayed–the ice and ibuprofen work better for this.
