See your dentist and: Try clove oil or Motrin until you can see your dentist to get diagnosed and solve the problem. Delaying only makes it worse and can lead to tooth loss.

Garlic: There is a chemical found exclusively in garlic called allicin with antibiotic properties that slow down bacterial affects. When the bacteria decrease, so does the pain. By applying a clove of crushed garlic directly on the affected tooth, the allicin is released and should immediately help alleviate the pain. You should then see your dentist as soon as possible.

Phone call: 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.
