Temporary Toothache pain relief

You have an excruciating toothache and you know your tooth needs to be extracted. You have called Just Pull It and you have an appointment in 24 hours. So what can you do until the appointment to help ease the pain?
​Here are some ways to calm the pain until you arrive for your appointment:
  • Ice, Ice Baby! Try a small cube wrapped with a cloth and rest on top of the tooth. You can also use an ice pack or a bag of frozen veggies on the jaw outside of the painful tooth area. And believe it or not if you wrap an ice cube and apply it, with pressure, to the fleshy area between your thumb and forefinger, it can reduce the pain.
  • Clove oil is a good way to naturally numb the tooth. Be careful, a little goes a long way. Put a couple of drops on a cotton ball and apply to the tooth. Be careful not to get directly on the gum tissue.
  • Swish some salt water (one teaspoon of salt in one cup of water) to cleanse the affected tooth and surrounding tissue. This will also reduce swelling which could be causing some of the pain.
  • Tea might help. Peppermint tea has a slight numbing effect and the tannins in black tea will help reduce swelling. You can also use a wet tea bag lightly resting on the tooth area.
  • You can use a pain reliever like Ibuprofen or acetaminophen as directed to help manage the pain.
These are all temporary pain relievers. The pain from an infected or impacted tooth will not go away without dental intervention. We hope using one or more of these methods will help alleviate your pain until you can come in for an appointment with our Dentist. The sooner you call, the sooner you won’t need these temporary remedies!
