How can you soothe an annoying toothache?

See your Dentist: The best thing to do is to see your dentist before it becomes very annoying and does not allow you to sleep.

The Dentist: Take some otc pain medication and call your dentist. Annoying toothaches almost invariably get worse and result in more pain if left untreated. It is you body's way of telling you something is wrong and needs to be fixed.

Toothache: 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.

Meds. Dentist: OTC meds until you can schedule a dental appointment to solve problem.
