Learn something new every day!!! - 8/16/2007 9:17:53 AM

for the past few days i've been having a toothache which has progressively gotten worse. the earliest appt i can get is Tuesday. so, i did a search for some way to deal with the pain until then and found a site of Home remedies.one of which deals with using sliced cucumbers placed on or near the tooth pain. amazingly this is working wonderfully.

anyone else find amazing, yet strange, ways to handle pain without drugs?

That is at least five days from now. Toothache is a torture. I hope that you survive.

I have recently been exactly where you are. Thankfully I have an ordained druid healer as a Master.

1) regular lipton tea bags. Really! wet with warm water and place against the offending tooth/gum area. use for 10 minutes to 1/2 an hour. The tannins in the tea are effective at localized pain relief.

2) clove oil or cloves. You can get this at the local supermarket in the spices section. Rub the clove oil on the gumline or squish the clove between two spoons and place the crushed clove against the gumline (spit out the clove itself after about 20 minutes) clove oil taste kind of like black licorice (spelling?) and has natural dental pain relief effects - so natural clove oil is used in some of those temporary dental fillings for extra pain relief.

3. Salt water rinse. This isn't really for pain relief, although it does give a little. 2 teaspoons warm water 1 teaspoon table salt or sea salt. dissolve, swish and spit. this will help to dry out and drain any surface absesses and also keep the area free of surface infection. it also helps reduce swelling.

my Owner is a vast open book of weird midwife's remedies (he was actually a certified midwife!) he knows a ton of weird natural remedies including ones for headache, nausea, ear infections and labor pains!!!! I'm expecting my fourth um and with his help I'm actually considering foregoing the epidural this time! (and that's saying ALOT as I'm a bit of a masochist but PAIN pain . . . uh, no!)
LOL

if those tooth ache remedies don't help - he says he has more, don't hesitate to write me!

very true - it aches a little bit as it absorbs into the root, but it lasts ALOT longer than oragel in my opinion. I had a bad absess a few months ago very early in my pregnancy and couldn't have the work done. the tea bag and clove oil trick was safe for someone who couldn't take even aspirin much less vicodin!

i'll try almost anything...except the cloves. those things make me sick. when cloves are used on ham during the holidays, i have to cut too much ot the ham to get away from the taste. been experimenting with a few of the other remedies though. so far, i'm out of pain, for now.

thanks all

My mouth is a slow bloomer. Wisdom teeth came in a little over a year ago. My California dentist refused to take them out saying she was not qualified.
Anyway, two week's ago they started hurting. My dentist here told me they had no room...all 14 dentists were on vacation the entire week.

Anyway, I was living on advil. It works well. Had them ripped from my mouth yesterday. Aside from the sporatic bleeding it was the best thing I have done in year's for my body.
At least it feels that way now with the lack of pain.

Drugs and more drugs.

There are other uses for ginger root...but I wouldn't call it a remedy exactly.

Ginger is my best friend when it comes to toothaches. That and coffee. Hot coffee (or well, warm, not scalding) swished around the totch ache helped me cope when I had my problems. I had am abscessed tooth that eventualy had to be pulled and the only thing that made me feel better was the heat from the coffee. I am sure any other warm beverage will work as well.

that is your opinion . what works for some might not work for others. tylenol doesnt work for some and gives hallucinations to others. i'm a nurse and a pagan witch. so i call it a remedy exactly.

favesclava - I think the other uses for ginger root that Durus was talking about is something called Figging. This is where a dominant takes a finger of ginger and bruises the outside skin and then inserts it into a submissive's anus. It creates a series of sensations from burning to heightened arousal. I've seen this done before and it is very interesting.

you'll feel so much better with your tooth until you can get to the doc.

ps.. you can also get some white willow tincture to help with the pain. it contains salicylin which is what aspirin is based on.

everyone else is so correct.. clove bud essential oil full strength on the affected area will do the trick. also a sea salt soak like someone else suggested will work as well. double it up, do the clove and sea salt soak.

but clove bud is one of the few essential oils you can apply directly to the skin. and it's also REALLY good for CBT.. hehe so is ginger.

get some clove bud oil and some white willow for any subsidiary pain (or take a tylenol even tho it's not an aspirin) but the clove will sufficiently numb you from the pain.

aww i feel so bad for you, nothing sucks more than mouth pain!
