Toothache..how do you cope?

I found some in my local independent chemist, maybe you could try one of those, or maybe a herbalist. I do normally buy my oils online, through a trade website, you could try this: www.purpleflame.co.uk I think they have a non-trade bit too.

Someone at work suggested a whole clove in the gumline of the affected tooth..it numbed it a bit! :)

I hear good things about clove oil as a tooth remedy,but have never tried it-was in the 24 hour shop last night,and couldn't see anything like it!

I wanted to get an appointment ASAP,but they told me the first opening was in Late August! This tooth will need treatment sooner,rather than later....

I got into a bit of a catch-22 situation over the antibiotics..I phoned the dentist to ask for some as my gumline had swollen at the site of the affected tooth-they said they wouldn't prescribe for me until I'd had my first apointment with them-(See Above!)And the swelling wouldn't make them budge on bringing the appointment forward,either..so my next call was to my GP's practise,whose receptionist tried to pass me back to the dentist! They gave in,and sorted me out for a prescription,so I'm now midway through the course,and the swelling has abated,and the tooth's more comfortable..haven't needed painkillers since!

The gum started swelling last weekend,so I went looking for antibiotics.feeling much better now I got some and I'm part way through the course!

I'm still in the "Before" stage,and hoping it doesn't need to be yanked out when it comes to it,but thanks!
