What is a way to cure toothache?

See the dentist: If you have a toothache you need to see a dentist. There are many different reasons for toothaches and only a dentist can determine why your tooth hurts. Additionally, only a dentist can solve the problem and fix/heal your tooth. Teeth never repair themselves and it's important to see a dentist right away so he can save the tooth and protect you from infection.

No, cure - treatment: You can't cure a toothache, you can only treat the source. Often, the source of pain is decay, which can infect the nerve in a tooth. The pain is from the dying nerve and the buildup of pressure in tooth or surrounding bone. Root canal therapy eliminates the pain by removing the infected nerve (and allowing you to keep your tooth). Don't delay - see your dentist.

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.
