Can i use magic mouthwash for my toothache?

Afraid not: While magic mouthwash typically contains pain killers and antibiotics, if at all effective it will only dull the pain as the infection spreads. To cure a toothache the infected tooth material has to be physically removed (remove decayed part of tooth, remove the root canal contents if infected, or remove the infected tooth). Please call your dentist for an appointment for diagnosis and treatment.

Most likely not: Magic rinse are referred to a rinse that has anesthetic solution in it. These rinses are used for pains that are confined to the soft tissue not the tooth. A toothache comes from deep within. See a dentist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Waste of time. NO!: The tooth hurts because something is affecting the nerve deep inside it, and putting mouthwash on the outside is not going to change that. You need to see a dentist and receive proper care. Please do that right away.

Toothache: Just like rubbing ambusol on the tooth - no "magic" and worthless. Fixing the source of the pain at the dentist is key. Otc Ibuprofen up to 800mg every 6 hours is about as good of a temporary relief you can get without an rx and a doctor's treatment.
