Go to Dentist: Palliative care at home such as Ibuprofen and ora-gel and other otc medications can help but severe toothaches is usually caused by bacteria and needs to be treated as it's an infection. You will need to go to the doctors and have it examined and proper antibiotics and treatment plan presented. The key is not the pain pills, but the antibiotics.

Visit a dentist: If not possible you can try to use clove oil on the affected area. Somepatient feels releive with hot and someothers with cold you can try both to see which one helps.

See your dentist!: You will find that almost every dentist will agree that to find relief you will need to see your dentist. There are not many pains that can equal a bad toothache. The pain may eventually decrease over time but the fastest way to find relief is to have the tooth treated by a dentist. It could require removal of the tooth but usually it can be saved with a "root canal" treament.

See a dentist ASAP: Even though the tooth ache may be related to sinus or another source, i would start first by seeing a dentist whom can x-ray and evaluate the tooth and surrounding gingival tissue and bone.

See a dentist !: There are no home remedies or cures for rotten teeth. No magic pills or rinses or mouthwashes. Toothaches need to be treated locally by a dentist, someone who has years of experience treating these conditions. The sooner you call the sooner you will feel better. Please don't delay, the pain may soon be unbearable.

Delay is ineffective: Toothache caused by infection. There''s no DIY solution. Delay will allow infection to spread to other organ systems, perhaps even resulting in death. So choose, the Dental Aisle in the Supermarket, or the office of a highly skilled thoroughly trained and experienced professional. Make the call...NOW.
