What Over-the-Counter Relief for Severe Toothache?

I am currently suffering with a very bad toothache which is not responding much to paracetamol or ibuprofen. I have already seen a dentist last week and I am going back on Wednesday. Is there anything you can recommend to buy over the counter to help until then? It is deeply impacting my sleep and I just need something to help until we go on Wednesday.

As a natural remedy for tooth pain, you can use clove oil. The oil of clove has natural anesthetic properties that can help you at the moment if the pain is still there. Most drugstores should have it. First, take a small amount and soak it on a cotton ball, then stick it on the painful tooth. Still, if you do not apply the clove oil on the gums as it may lead to irritation. Don't forget that the numbing is only for a short time, and you still have to see your dentist.

Had molar extraction done need instant denture

Male | 55

Usually you need to wait for 2 weeks and then go for any sort of denture. The healing of the extraction site should be proper, then only any denture should be given. But, if still the healing is not good after 2 weeks, dentist can ask you to wait for few more days and might put you on multivitamins.

Can tooth decay be reversed?

Female | 39

The short answer is “no” but the long answer is “sort of.”  Here’s why:


The earliest stage of tooth decay or a cavity is demineralized enamel. The outer layer of enamel becomes weak and soft, due to acids and plaque biofilm coming into contact with it on an extended basis.

Fortunately, demineralized enamel can — to an extent — be remineralized before a physical cavity (hole) ruptures through the surface.


What are some ways to help this happen?

  • Improved hygiene and plaque removal on an everyday basis
  • Protective dental sealants over deep grooves and fissures, which are someof the most cavity-prone surfaces
  • Drinking fluoridated tap water throughout the day
  • Supplementation with a prescription strength fluoride or mouthrinse, providedby your dentist
  • Use of everyday oral hygiene products that contain fluoride
  • Eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, sharp cheddar cheese, and fewerprocessed carbohydrates
  • Eliminating acidic beverages and those that contain natural or artificial-sweeteners

The types of cells that make up your teeth do not re-grow or repair themselves after the tooth is fully developed.

Once a tooth has a physical cavity (opening or hole) inside of it, there is no feasible way to help the enamel grow back on your own. Instead, the cavity will gradually worsen, due to the bacterial infection inside of the tooth structure.


Ideally, you would want to treat the cavity as soon as it’s diagnosed and while it’s as small as possible. When you do, your dentist can place a minimally invasive filling and preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible.

But untreated cavities will expand to the point that they require larger fillings. Or worse, they will reach into the nerve chamber and create an abscess. What could have initially been treated with a modest restoration now becomes a situation requiring a root canal and a crown

I have no teeth. Getting pulled to get dentures. How can I get nutrition. Am I going to die with no teeth.

Female | 45

In particular, the absence of teeth leads to difficulties in consuming specific foods and can impoverish nutritional status. But through the implementation of dentures numerous individuals keep a balanced diet. Users are advised to schedule consultations with both their dentist and a nutrition expert so as come up with an appropriate diet plan. In case you feel insecure about your oral health, make sure to visit a prosthodontic dentist.

I have blood gums, please tell me the medicine.

Female | 21

The swollen and red gums might be a sign of gum disease which requires special care from the dentist. Make an appointment to see a dentist who has been trained in periodontics for an accurate assessment and treatment. Please don't self meditate as it may worsen your condition

A month ago, I had a filling done. Only after I eat do I begin to experience any discomfort. Food becomes jammed up in the teeth filling area. It's as if there's a infection going around. What is the best treatment for removing the infection?

Male | 27

local generalised xray is needed for that particular tooth. if filling has not helped the pain, then maybe a RCT will be required.can comment on it only after seeing the x-ray.
for the discomfort after the filing a simple solution could be to just visit the same Dentist back & tell him to reduce the filling ti get in Occlusion

Male | 18

Bruising around neck common after wisdom tooth extraction . Usually harmless.. But if it persists seek medical attention.... Could indicate more serious injury.
