how to cure toothache - #22521
I am dealing with this awful toothache that's been ruining my life for a few days now. I thought it was just like a little sensitivity but wow, was I wrong! It started as a mild nagging pain, but then last night, it was like a small jackhammer going off in my mouth. I ignored it at first, thinking it would go away, but nope! I couldn't sleep, and drinking anything cold was impossible. I even tried rinsing with salt water, which helped for a sec but then the toothache came back worse... I'm kinda freaking out here. I went to the dentist but couldn't get an appt til next week, and I'm wondering, what can I do right now? Like, how to cure toothache at home? I've looked up some remedies, but they all seem kinda iffy. Should I be putting clove oil directly on it? Or is ice not a good idea? I don’t wanna do anything that makes it worse. Also, how to cure toothache when it feels like it’s getting worse with pressure? I really don't want to rely on painkillers too much, but it seems like I'm kinda left with no choice until I get to see the dentist. Any real advice or tips on how to cure toothache quickly would help a ton!
