Toothache

August ladies, please help me with all your good advice!

I have the worst toothache I have had in my entire life. My wisdom tooth breaking through has caused a gum infection and it is incredibly painful. I'm obviously going to see a dentist Monday but I just don't know how I'll get through these next 36 hours. Here is what I've tried -

Warm salt water, orajel, Tylenol, ibuprofen, cold compress and now I'm chewing on garlic. Never thought I would shove straight garlic in my mouth. Nothing helps! I asked H to pick up some whiskey on his way home to swush with. Does anyone have an amazing remedy for this kind of pain relief?

    Thanks! Haha I have some all spice? I did see Dr google suggested cloves too so I might just have to go get some. The problem is my gums are what hurt the most. The tooth is half way out and I'm pretty sure I have a bad infection in my gums around it. Will it still bring relief or just hurt?

    Oh I know it hurts sooo bad, I would (almost) rather give birth.

    I have the skin flap thing too! But it hurts all the way around and the gum is swollen. I put some allspice on it, the Internet said it worked like cloves although not as strong. So far I don't feel any different, I think I'll apply a more generous amount. I'm absolutely terrified of dentists too, so Monday should be fun :( This dentist has a drug that knocks you completely out for the whole cleaning, I may have to try that..

    Edited because autocorrect.

    Along the same lines as above, I have heard clove essential oil works wonders on tooth aches as well!

    When it doubt, put some breastmilk on it!

    Haha, sorry, I couldn't help myself with all the posts lately suggesting breast milk is the cure for everything :)

    Wish I had better advice for you. Hope you get some sweet pain relief soon!

    Amber necklaces work for babies with teeth busting through. Don't see why that would hurt to try. Maybe with the clove oil too.
