Go to pharmacy and ask for "Oil of Cloves", it will NUMB the pain...

If that doesn't work, visit your local othrodontist.

Clove oil does work great from what I've heard but I gotta warn you, the smell and the taste are atrocious!

Break off a piece of a pain medicine and put it in the hole then eat a couple. Other than that nothing will help except pulling it.

It is also toxic, in bigger quantities...

Put some clove oil on the end of a Q tip, and gently dab the affected area...

Chili seed is another effective pain reliever..grind some chili seeds in a mortar and pestle, and add a drop of oil to it, the same thing, put some on a Qtip and dab the area.

Don't put any pain medicine directly in it. noway

Use the clove oil/ambesol method instead. Also, tylenol 3 (for arthritis) is the strongest thing you can get over the counter. Otherwise, your dentist should be able to prescribe tylenol with codeine.

Go get it checked asap! You don't want it to get infected.

Get it pulled, I had a High School buddy die from an abscess tooth last summer.
