Oil of clove: Oil of clove may reduce discomfort from toothache, try a dipping a q-tip and gently saturate the tooth with clove oil. This is at most a temporary "fix" so see your dentist asap!

Keep it clean: Keep it clean. Take advil or Motrin instead of tylenol (acetaminophen) if you are not allergic to these medicines. They are for pain but also have anti inflammatory properties not found in tylenol (acetaminophen). You can also use warm salt water rinses and ice compresses.
