Treatments..: Other than taking pain meds to alleviate your discomfort for a short while, until you can get to a dentist, there are no diy dentistry tips i can give you... They just don't exist. You can try temporary dental filling material from your pharmacy, but it will be of limited value. The pain will only get worse in a short time, so make the call.

Not garlic: Take OTC painkillers may provide some relief until you can get to your dentist. Tooth pain is caused when the nerve root of a tooth is irritated by infection, decay or trauma. The good news is the prognosis is good with appropriate dental care. Remember, toothache pain will not go away on its own.

Sorry: Toothache usually due to infection, which will only continue to spread until treated. Pain pills will only mask symptoms until they wear off, then pain will come roaring back. Sorry, no pills, potions, snake oil, garlic, salves, OTCs, homeopathic, or spells will work as well as a trip to the Dentist.
