Help for a toothache???
 

My son has a toothache anyone know any home remedy that might help?? Thanks! :)

yep . . . . the webbing between your thumb and index finger . . . hold an ice cube against it

I hear that works.


:thumbsup

go to the nearest Rite-Aid/Walgreens and they have some stuff that you just put one drop on the tooth, and it numbs it so no pain can be felt...one drop last a few hours!!

try chewing on a ball of tin foil

Oraljel will help topically and ibruprofen internally.

And a dentist on Monday :)

Depends on what you want to do.

Do you want to take him to the dentist in the next couple of days? Deal with the whining and crying, and give him OraGel or Anbesol or something.

Next couple of days isn't happening?

Go to a Wild Oats or something similar in your neighborhood and pick up some Clove Oil.

While you're there, get some ground cloves.

When you get home, get about a teaspoon of the ground cloves and drip water onto it until it becomes slightly paste like. (You are going to use this to pack it.)

If your child can smell the Clove Oil, he/she will be thrashing about before you even apply. Get your spouse or some other adult to help you.

Drop 2 drops on his tooth. Try to get the drops in the exposed hole if there is any. Wait 1 minute.
Drop 2 more. Wait 1 minute.

Pack the tooth and the gums around it in ground cloves. Don't let the child touch it with a tongue. Wait 5 minutes, then have the child rinse their mouth with Listerene, or some other highly antiseptic mouth wash. Nothing like Act, that's for pussies.

Just to let you know, this will probably kill the tooth's root. It did to mine.

i rub a tylonal on the tooth and take the pill and im fine. only thing that works for me.

Great! :thumbsup Thanks....he said it helped. I'd already tried the other obvious things.....and of dentist on Monday. It figures he would get a toothache on a Sat. :(

A little salt diluted in water and swish it around his mouth and that helps as well...

give him ibruprofen .. it works after 20 min perfectly!

hold it on longer, pinch it, and it will go away
