My second child is already crying because of unbearable toothache she is suffering right now. This morning, she and my wife went to dentist and give them this pricey medicine but didn't extracted the tooth.
The dentist told them it should be better tomorrow. But today seems the biggest problem in how to deal with this toothache. I told her to gargle water with salt. Then we put salon pass in her check where there is pain.
I know its hard when you have tooth pain. You cannot even sleep at night. Sometimes even its aching you wanted it to be pulled out.

Try to let her gargle some calamansi juice with no honey or sugar just pure calamansi juice and a little warm water 
The pain will subside slowly but it will go

Oh it cannot be. When the tooth is in pain the dentist will never pull the tooth.

We actually followed some of the advice here. She is taking pain reliever which is a brand of mefenamic acid and an antibiotic

Do you have a product in your area called Orajel @ilocosboy ? It's a numbing agent that comes in a tube that you can squeeze directly on the affected area of the gum where the tooth is located.

when the tooth is decayed or loses, better pull it out fast. Otherwise the root will become swollen and affect the rest of the other healthy teeth. I had this horrible toothache for 6 months, depend on pain killer for 6 months because the dentist said I had high blood pressure, cannot pull it out.

Toothache is a terrible thing. Clove oil tastes terrible but it works for tooth ache

my son just had his wisdom tooth extracted several days ago. the dentist gave him first, antibiotics and pain relievers, so when it was time for the tooth extraction, he felt little pain only.
how about toothache drops, or a small piece of garlic? or cotton dipped in a strong perfume?

sometimes when the pain is so intense, we wanted it to be outright extracted, the dentist have other solution and never would want to extract that tooth.
