Home remedies for tooth ache pain?
I'm wondering if they're any little tricks that can be used to help ease the pain associated with a tooth ache. I have been to see a dentist this past Monday (Nov 10th) and was prescribed an antibiotic for the infection around my right upper wisdom tooth. I have many more appointments to go to to correct my little dental problems before Christmas time. Including replacing old fillings and having a deep root something cleaning, I think they called it scaling I'm not entirely sure what that procedure was called. A date was even set to having oral surgery to remove said wisdom teeth. However the only thing the dentist suggested for pain was Tylenol during the whole process of waiting between appointments.
Prior to seeing the dentist I had been alternating taking Tylenol and Motrin or Advil, and they just don't seem to be doing much for the pain anymore. Cold packs make it worst and keeping a hot water bottle strapped to my head isn't an option, as I work in an office setting and must greet clients all day, with all my upcoming appointments I can't afford more time off work due to the pain. Any little tricks or home remedies to help put the pain at bay from now till my wisdom teeth are removed would be most appreciated. :)
