How To Ease Tooth Pain Until You Can Get To The Doctor or Dentist
Toothaches can be pretty miserable. If you have toothache it is hard to eat or drink or do anything else with your mouth. These things only push the pain farther so that it is almost unbearable. Unfortunately though, you have to eat and drink to stay alive. It is not like you can just stop because you have a toothache. People will go months or even years with bad teeth sometimes before they make it to the dentist. Nevertheless, it is very important that you make and appointment and go. If you cannot get there right away, here are some things you can do to ease the pain during the time period before you make it to the dentist:
CLOVE OIL
One of the most common ways to ease the pain is by using cloves or clove oil. Cloves are supposed to work wonders when it comes to easing toothache pain. There are many people who use cloves. All you do is take out a few and put them between your cheek and the infected tooth. Sometimes you will have to chew them a little to get their juices flowing. Clove oil can also work well. You have to be careful with clove oil because too much of it can damage your teeth. But if you ask a pharmacist they can give you a safe, over-the-counter type of clover oil that would not be harmful. Both these things will help to ease your toothache pain.
IBUPROPHEN
Another thing is take Ibuprophen. Ibuprophen is a great medicine for easing pain, not matter what kind of pain you are in. Just like it works for broken bones and painful bruises, Ibuprophen can help to ease your toothache pains. You obviously do not want to overdose, but there are safe amounts to take. If you want extra pain relief you can also hold a hot pack to your check after you take Ibuprophen. Adding heat will help your toothache to calm and not hurt as bad. Combined with Ibuprophen your teeth should do really well.
GARLIC
Other option is to use garlic. They use garlic cloves and such in the same way they use other cloves. They chew on them or just hold them in their mouths. Obviously not every option will work for everyone and this is one of those that does not always work for everyone, but it is a great idea to try if you are having pretty bad tooth pain.
SALT WATER
The last thing that may help and usually works for other people is salt water. Salt water cleans out and disinfects the tooth. It may ache at first but after a few minutes the salt water should ease the pain. If none of these things work for you there are still more things you can try. These things can be found out by asking other people as well as looking online. There are many people who are more than willing to share their remedies with you.

Nasal irrigation
Nasal irrigation
Nasal irrigation (also called "nasal lavage" or "nasal douching") is an ancient and widespread practice.
There are many areas of the world where nasal irrigation is every bit as commonplace as the western practice of brushing one’s teeth.
Relative to nasal irrigation, oral rinses (gargles, mouthwashes) are a good deal more common in the western hemisphere. Unfortunately, most commercial rinses (such as Scope or Listerine) are formulated with the taste buds in mind, and are injurious to the mucosal lining of the mouth and throat. Listerine, for example, contains 26.9% alcohol (that’s nearly 54 proof!) In addition to alcohol, many commercial rinses contain a sweetener such as saccharine, and some contain detergents similar to what is used in toothpastes. Commercial oral rinses are probably not harmful if you are in good health, but if you are having problems with your throat, commercial rinses are not helpful and may contribute to your sense of discomfort.
Benefits and risks of nasal irrigation/oral rinses. These practices are most commonly prescribed for one of three purposes: to reduce tissue swelling (edema), to help clear tenacious mucus from the throat and/or nasal cavities, and to reduce dryness.
There are no known risks associated with oral rinses, other than the possibility of allergic reaction to one of the components (unlikely for one of the saline rinses, but certainly possible in the case of a commercial rinse, or if a formulated prescription is used– for example, an antibiotic rinse.)
Nasal irrigation can alter the environment of the nasal cavities and sinuses, making them more conducive to the growth of certain water-loving bacteria such as Pseudomonas. Also, irrigation should not be performed if you are suffering from acute sinusitis (an acute bacterial infection of the sinuses), since it could facilitate spread of the infection to the other sinuses, the eyes or throat. For these reasons, you should NOT irrigate your nose unless instructed to do so by your doctor.
How to do it. Commercial oral rinses cannot be used for nasal irrigation, with one exception (Alkalol, which is discussed below.) You can easily prepare an appropriate rinse/irrigant at home, and I have included a few recipes (below.) If possible, gargling and irrigating should be performed using a solution that is as warm as (or a bit warmer than) body temperature, but this is not essential.
Gargling should be done "deeply" so that the rinse penetrates deep into the throat. One way to do this is to vary the pitch of the sound you make while gargling (high, low, high, etc.) You will soon find a method that allows deep penetration into the throat. Don’t worry if you swallow a bit of the rinse– none of these solutions are harmful.
Nasal irrigation can be accomplished by a variety of means. In cultures where nasal irrigation is a routine daily practice, people "snuff" (inhale through the nose) the irrigant from a cupped hand. You could also purchase a small bulb syringe; these are sold in pharmacies and are usually used to aspirate mucus from the nostrils of infants, or to help irrigate wax from the ear canals (don’t use it for wax removal without talking to your doctor first!) The goal is to inhale (or squirt) the irrigant deeply enough that you thoroughly wash your nasal cavities. Once again, if a bit goes down the back of your throat don’t be concerned. This merely indicates that you have successfully lavaged the full length of your nasal cavity.

Sore Tooth Remedy: Recipe for Salt Water Gargle..
Sore Tooth Remedy: Recipe for Salt Water Gargle..
If infection is the main cause for a sore tooth, the most simple and effective home remedy is to gargle with salt water. Like salt water helps in treating a sore throat, it also cures a sore tooth. Salt draws out water from the pathogens and dehydrates them. Hence, due to its dehydrating property, salt is effectively used in killing bacteria and other germs. There are two concentrations of saline water - isotonic and hypertonic. Here is a recipe for preparing the two concentrations of salt water for gargling.
Isotonic Saline: Take 500 ml of pure water (filtered or distilled) in a glass and add one teaspoon each of table salt and baking soda. Stir the mixture well and gargle. One should gargle with isotonic saline, three times daily or as prescribed by your dentist.
Hypertonic Saline: Hypertonic, as the name suggests, is more concentrated than isotonic saline solution. To prepare this saline, one needs to add two tablespoons of table salt and one tablespoon of baking soda in 500 ml of water. Stir the mixture thoroughly till the salt and baking soda dissolve completely. It is usually recommended for severe tooth sore. One can gargle with hypertonic saline solution, three times daily or as prescribed by your dentist.
For good dental health, it is always advisable to gargle with salt water after every meal and before going to bed. In addition to this, there are many home remedies for toothache. Some of them are:
* Rubbing the affected area with an ice cube for 3-4 minutes will numb the area and alleviate toothache.
* Use of garlic as a home remedy is known to us since a long time. For toothache, one can place a garlic clove with rock salt on the affected area.
* Putting 2-3 drops of vanilla extract will give immediate pain relief.
* In case of infection, grind wheat grass and gargle with the extract. This will kill the bacteria and cure the toothache.
* Clove oil applied to the affected area, will help in curing a sore tooth. One can add a pinch of pepper powder for better results.
* Grind Asafoetida in lemon juice; then heat the mixture till it becomes lukewarm and apply on the affected tooth with the help of a cotton swab. This will help soothe the toothache.
Many a times, a sore tooth is caused due to poor oral hygiene and consumption of sugar rich diets. Speaking about dental care, proper cleaning of teeth is always recommended. One can brush the teeth in a circular motion and then slightly brush the gums for enhancing blood circulation.

A severe sore tooth requires immediate medical attention, as delay will worsen the toothache and the condition may become more complicated.
Recipe for Salt Water Gargle Sore Tooth

Why Gargle with Saltwater?
Sore throats are sore due to inflammation. Usually, the inflammation is due to a viral or bacterial infection. (The common cold and strep throat are examples of each.) However, sore throat may also be related to allergies or physical injury to the throat. In each case, an inflammatory response has been triggered. Pain, swelling and an itchy or irritated sensation are the common symptoms of this inflammatory response.
The medical term for swelling is "edema." As part of the inflammatory response, there is an increase in the water content of the involved tissues. With respect to sore throat, a sense of fullness and difficulty swallowing are both related to edema of the tissue lining the throat (called mucosa).
Water tends to follow salt. Anyone who has ever salted a snail knows what happens to the snail. Here's a less disgusting analogy: Have you ever salted slices of raw eggplant? The salt draws moisture from the eggplant. After a few minutes, you can see beads of fluid on the surface of the eggplant.
Everyone has a different recipe for a saltwater gargle, but all recipes tend to be fairly salty. If the gargle has a higher salt concentration than your cells' salt concentration, it will tend to draw out some of the edema fluid from the mucosa of the throat. This will make SOME of your "sore throat" symptoms better. The relief is very real, but also tends to be short-lived, since the gargle has done nothing to remove the cause of the sore throat.
In some cases, gargling with saltwater also has a cleansing action. If you are suffering from postnasal drainage due to a bacterial sinus infection or allergies, the mucus that drains from your nasal cavity is full of chemicals that tend to promote an inflammatory response. As this stuff drains down the back of your throat, it leaves a trail of inflamed tissues in its wake. Frequent gargling with saltwater will help minimize this problem.
As with everything else in medicine, you can certainly overdo this one! Make the gargle salty enough, and you will dry out the mucosa of the throat. This could lead to even greater irritation than what you started with. My advice: The gargle should taste a little salty, but not overwhelmingly so. Begin with one teaspoon of salt per pint of water. Once the salt has dissolved, taste it. If it tastes like spit, add a bit more salt until it begins to taste salty.

Why Salt Water Gargling Helps Your Throat
Why Salt Water Gargling Helps Your Throat
As home remedies go, this might be the most widely known/practiced/recommended. But why does gargling with warm, salty water help soothe a sore throat?
First of all, gargling of any kind is helpful when you have a throat infection because it flushes the area and can encourage any lingering bits of phlegm to ride the wave and leave the premises. For those who still have your tonsils (or who, like me, have big ones), flushing the throat with fluid helps loosen anything that gets stuck in there as well. Alternatives to salt water gargling: cider vinegar, lemon juice, natural mint or cinnamon mouthwash, or just plain warm water.
But here are the main two reasons why salt water in particular are helpful for sore throats (information I learned here and here and here):
* Salt sucks. This is a phrase that I learned in 12th grade biology class, and I've come back to it again and again. Salt draws moisture and promotes osmosis. This is why salting eggplant or tomatoes makes them give up their liquid so they're easier to cook with. In your throat, salt water "sucks" in two ways: it draws moisture out of any bacteria who have set up shop there, and it draws moisture out of your own swollen tissues, relieving inflammation.
* Salt cleanses. Not only does salt water flush out post-nasal drip and other bacterial material (just like any fluid would), a salty environment prevents bacteria from growing. Just ask any medieval meat-eater how they kept their meat from going rancid, and you'll recall that salt is a bacteria-fighter.
Fair warning, though - you can have too much of a good thing when it comes to salt water gargling. First, do not swallow the salt - your body does not need the extra sodium, it needs to be well-hydrated in order to fight your infection. Second, if the concentration of salt in your gargle is too high, it will dry out your throat membranes, causing them to inflame further.
A good rule of thumb is to use only enough salt so that the water tastes just salty, not WHOA, SALTY! I usually do 3 10-second gargles in a row, 3-4 times a day when I have a cold. And for whatever reason, I usually feel better afterward.
