Any old-timey, folk remedies for toothache?

[pheasantplucker]

I got a tooth ache, that's not giving up. Went to the dentist Friday, and he checked things...no cracks in a crown...gums look good, but every time I eat, or drink something hot or had a few bites of cantaloupe a few minutes ago, and the pain is unreal. Anyone have any suggestions to tide me over till I can get back in and have him pull it if need be. Do they still make Anbesol? Isn't there some old time remedy with cloves?

It's in a molar? I would have it removed, no matter how supposedly good it looks. It there is any "metal" near the meridian at the root, it's just shorting out there.

As far as tooth issue remedies CoQ10 capsules- bite open and squirt all the contents on the gums and tooth. Clove oil is also antiseptic and helps.

Heres a couple of charts of the teeth and each electrical system that meridian goes to.

I have heard a couple of naturopaths say 90% of breast cancers are caused by meridian issues from crowns, root canals, fillings,etc. I will post some links on the subject of rootcanals and breast cancer--

Honestly, just in my opinion, if I had a tooth that had any dental filling, root canal, crown, etc, that hurt.... It would be gone. It's not worth the risk of leaving it in the body.

You can tried ground cloves or pure clove oil. It sounds like to me that you have a cracked tooth or the beginning of an abcess.

Swish some Kentucky whiskey around in there....then swallow.

Oragel makes a good mouth wash for mouth sores & such.... I have a broken molar in the back that was killing me and after my 3rd swishing, it was noticeably better. Cheaper, less flavorful option could be swishing with peroxide.

Sorry your tooth hurts

Almonds are great for toothaches. Use a sensitive tooth toothpaste, sounds more like that than a cavity.

French tarragon has a numbing effect

Try putting pure vanilla extract on it. I know it sounds strange but it helps. Put it all around the gum line.

Then go and see a dentist.

I've had a lot of luck with oil of oregano. Not just easing pain, but it seemed to actually kill the infection. Any health store will have it, I went to Vitamin Shoppe. Put a few drops in a little olive oil and rub it on and around the bad tooth. It's not how much you use, but how often. I put it on every couple of minutes until it feels better.

A few years back I had pain that had nothing to do with the tooth that seemed to hurt. An x-ray showed the only problem was with a wisdom tooth....had that pulled and all was well.

Or Tennessee Repeat until you no longer know you have a tooth

Sinus infection can mimic tooth pain. I heartily second the oil of oregano idea before having an extraction, especially if your dentist found nothing wrong. It'll come in capsules. Break one open and surround the tooth with the gel and try to hold it there. Then swallow a couple WITH FOOD. and keep up a regimen for at least three days.

Oil of clove is immediate and temporary. Maker's Mark will sooth your soul.

[tailwagging]

put salt at the gum line.

[Kazahleenah]

Sensodine toothpaste for the sensitivity.
Oil of Orageno capsules for any infection that may be building in there.

Wow...I just gargled, swished, rinsed and spit a shot of spiced rum. Followed that with a quick shot of orajel to the tooth that hurts. I had no idea it would numb my mouth so effectively. Thanks for all the suggestions, folks. Think this will tide me over till I can get in to have him take another look!

I like a couple shots of whiskey, 4 or 5 more shots of whiskey, followed quickly by a shot of whiskey. When I was rich, it was Jack Daniels. Now that I'm poor, its Old Crow. I'm so ashamed....

Native Americans chewed wintergreen roots for toothache. Wintergreen grows everywhere up here - don't know about Ohio.

And who says a generic prescription is the same as a name brand

You right about that, buddy. It's not necessarily the effect, it's the pride factor. For instance, I had a deep understanding with Jack Daniels, a nearly spiritual feeling. The feeling you would have with your true love. We understood each other and took a great deal of pleasure in each other's company, me and Jack Daniels. Old Crow?? I just nail it fast as I can and try not to think about how cheap it is. You know?? Tennessee sipping whiskey is the real thing. Kentucky whiskey is a cheap date.

I like to swish with peroxide.
