Orajel works good.  It will help til you can go to the dentist.  I have heard you can crush asprin and rub on it but I don't think I would do it.  Orajel is made for that.

I'm so sorry to hear about your toothache. I know how miserable they can be. I have never found anything to actually work except going to the dentist and getting an antibiotic.

Orajel is good. It has benzocaine which numbs the pain. I hope you did call the dentist 'cause that's the best thing to do.

A good home remedy is oil of cloves.

Clove oil. A clove of garlic.

Advil sounds dangerous for a toothache because Advil is candy-coated.

I don't have a toothache but seeing your post reminds me that I have to go to the dentist on Tuesday. It sure comes around fast that is all I can say.

a dentist on youtube said to take 3 advils 3 times a day.someone else said to use mouthwash. but seeing a dentist is the best.  I need to see one soon myself. i usually wait for a toothache to see the dentist.

Ice, soft foods maybe

 Sorry to hear about your toothache. I know they are very painful.  I think Orajel is your best bet until you can see a dentist.
 Hope you feel better soon.

I would go to a dentist. Home remedies will only get you so far.

Vanilla flavoring.

I have used oragel in the pass and stayed away from very cold beverages; for me that seemed to make it worst so I opted for room temperature beverages.

I've experienced some tooth pain myself recently...on the tooth that I had a root canal on about a year ago. I usually use Tylenol, Orajel, and Sensodyne. It has helped thus far.
