I have been going through this pain for about 2 weeks now. Wondering why I'm still not visiting the dentist? It's because I'm really scared to go to a doctor. Because when I was a child, I often go to the doctor because I have a weak body and it somewhat traumatize me a little. Anyway, I know that sooner or later, I will go to the dentist cos in a more few days the pain will be unbearable. For now I took Mefenamic Acid for a temporary relief. But for those of you who are suffering from a terrible toothache too and does not want to take any medication for relief, here are some alternatives to soothe your pain:
- Salt Water: Mix a heaping spoonful of salt in a small glass of lukewarm to warm water, swoosh around inside your mouth for as long as you can, spit out. Repeat a couple times.
- Cloves: This is an old timer’s remedy, rest a clove against the sore area until pain goes away. You can also use a drop or two of clove oil (too much can be toxic) or make a thick paste of ground cloves and water or ground cloves and olive oil.
- Alcohol: Swoosh a bit of whiskey, scotch, brandy or vodka. A strong mouthwash that contains alcohol will do the trick too.
- Hydrogen Peroxide: Swoosh a bit of hydrogen peroxide. If the taste is too horrid for you, try diluting with a bit of water.
- Vanilla Extract: Saturate a cotton ball with vanilla and hold in place. Can also use a cotton swab dipped in extract. from tipnut.com
