What can you do to get rid of a toothache?

Dentist: See a dentist. You may have an infection. You may need antibiotics but you won't know until you see a dentist. Use whatever works for pain until you can see a dentist. If you can't see a dentist soon and you are in a lot of pain, go to the emergency room.

Call 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.

Call a dentist: 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.
