How do you get rid of a tooth ache until your dentist appointment?

I'm certain: That your dentist should accommodate you on the same day for your true dental emergency. If he / she cannot, then consider finding another dentist. With that said, many people call with an emergency, and when we give them a time - that is not convenient. So those we consider selective emergencies or emergencies of convenience. But for a true emergency, you should be seen right away. Hope this.

OTC Pain Relievers: The same over-the-counter (otc) pills you take for everyday aches and pains. Ibuprofen (motrin or advil) to start, if pain relief does not improve, then you can also take Acetaminophen (tylenol). Take as directed on the packaging. Do not take them if you've had any adverse reactions to either medication in the past.

Difficult: You can try taking otc meds such as Ibuprofen or naproxen. Sometimes intraoral numbing agents like orajel can temporarily relieve a toothache. Sometimes an ice pack can be effective depending on the cause of the ache. If you find no relief from any of the above then insist that your dentist see you promptly or find another one who will.

Not easily: Toothache means infection. Advil/motrin/ibuprofen (follow pkg directions exactly) and cold compresses may take the edge off until you get skilled professional help to treat your infection. Don't delay, see your dentist asap.
