OTC pain medication: There are no real home remedies for a toothache in the sense that they can cure or treat the cause of the problem. You need to see a dentist to determine the cause of the pain, and then render the appropriate treatment. In the meantime, you can take any otc pain medication that you would normally take for a headache. Avoid hot and cold food and liquids and eat on the other side.

None, really...: 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.
