What to do if i have a tooth ache & i tried adult maxium strength anbesol but it wore off, so then i tried baby orajel swabs?

Call a dentist: Orajel is great for teething babies, when the pain is from a tooth that is erupting through the gum. For adults, the treatment of choice is to be immediately seen by a dentist. Orajel prolongs the inevitable.. An emergency if the tooth is not treated soon. Please make the call and feel better tomorrow, .

Orajel: Unfortunately, too many patients think that applying such things as orajel will help with toothaches. It rarely does. It is intended for a surface numbing only and does not go to the root of the problem- an internal tooth problem. Call your dentist and get an appointment right away. In the meantime, otc pain medications such as advil, motrin, aleve (naproxen) will probably work better.

Not a DIY project: Toothache usually means a deep infection of the tooth that can quickly spread to other parts of the body via the circulatory system. To treat the toothache you have to treat the infection. Placing a surface numbing agent will not "fix" the infection. Please call your dentist for care. That's what he's trained to do. Quit wasting time and money on store-shelf products
