1. Medicate. Take two extra strength aspirins, Tylenol or ibuprofen are the best medications. Why? These products are known to reduce the pain and the inflammation that accompanies the toothache.

2. Oil of Clove. This is an old home remedy used by many for years. Remember to place the clove oil on the aching tooth. And not the surrounding gums. Purchase Oil of Clove at local health food and drug stores.

3. Chill Out. Place an ice cube against the jaw where the throbbing toothache is located. This works great for some who suffer with toothaches.

4. Rinse. Place a teaspoon of salt in warm water and rinse the mouth. This helps to remove food particles that might be stuck in the tooth and adding to the pain.

5. Floss. Often food particles are stuck in an abscessed tooth and cause pain. Use floss to remove the stuck food particles to get instant relief.

6. Drops and Cover. Purchase tooth-ache drops and place on a piece of gauze and cover the tooth. This instantly relieves pain for many people.
