My curse upon your venom'd stang,
That shoots my tortur'd gums alang,
An' thro' my lug gies mony a twang,
Wi' gnawing vengeance,
Tearing my nerves wi' bitter pang,
Like racking engines!
When fevers burn, or argues freezes,
Rheumatics gnaw, or colics squeezes,
Our neibor's sympathy can ease us,
Wi' pitying moan;
But thee-thou hell o' a' diseases-
Aye mocks our groan.
Adown my beard the slavers trickle
I throw the Wee stools o'er the mickle,
While round the fire the giglets keckle,
To see me loup,
While, raving mad, I wish a heckle

No herbal ideas?
The only one i know that sort of works is clove ,but that had already been suggested, hense why no herbal................
Ok next question, Does anyone have any clove oil they can get to saveman, I would offer but it's in my travel first aid bag I leave in turkey :roll:
If you can't get the clove oil, gently chew (bite down) on a whole clove. If you don't have one a neighbour should.
I get the feeling we have gone beyond herbs here..the man is in really bad pain and needs a dentist...
Is there no emergency dentistry done up there at all now?
....not even if you hie yourself down to Inverness?... And/Or check into an A&E dept?
Shocking!

apart from the cloves, I would also recommend Paracetamol. It does more good than many are led to believe.
No more than 8 in 24 hours mind!
2x Ibuprofen have temporarly done the trick......thanks for the suggestions :)
I think a dentist is the long term answer ;)

Ordinary strength paracetemol are no match for bad toothache. You have my sympathy but the Dentist is the only long/medium term option. In the meantime if you know anyone who has some co-proxamol, co-codamol or co-dydramol lying about then up to eight of those a day will probably suffice....but go steady.

Is the tooth sensitive to hot and cold...or sore to the touch? The latter suggests a possible absess....if it's the dentists then NHS charge £42.00 for one filling, or six...crazy system which still costs a fair bit, but obviously cheaper than going private.
proper sensedine toothpaste makes all the difference tub toothpaste with your finger over the sore bit that helps
oh theres nowt worse than toothache!!!! gonna make an appointment masel this week as filling fell oot and unlike saveman im no in agony but... starting to get sensative!!!! i feel for ya saveman!!!!
paracetamol is useless for toothache something stronger is needed!!!
.......like a bottle of wine/whisky/vodka.....anything that numbs the brain ..lol:lol:
Oh poor Saveman! Hope you can get to a Dentist soon.:(
In the meantime you could take co-codamol along with the Ibuprofen and this should help until you get the tooth seen to.
This might help. http://www.beyondfear.org/selfhelp/a_press.asp (http://forum.caithness.org/go.php?url=http://www.beyondfear.org/selfhelp/a_press.asp)
Anbesol might help as well.

Sorry to say Saveman but the tru pain is £15 per month for a dental plan that you only need for emergencies like this.

I'd agree with the clove remedy.
You won't think the toothace pain is bad at all once you get the dentist bill......from experience that IS very painfull indeed.:~(

try oragel, it has antibiotics in it. you can purchase it from Superdrug. It will get rid of toothache in seconds!!!
Place a garlic clove on the sore tooth- this should immediately reduce pain.
Rinse your mouth with salt water.
Put vanilla extract on sore tooth.
Chew on a raw onion to kill the bad bacteria.
Make sure you take pleanty of calcium and vitamin C.
I'm fine folks......I think a sinus infection is adding to the problem but ibuprofen has done the trick for the moment......when I started this thread the pain was driving me to distraction, but thankfully it's not got that bad since.

glad to 'see' you signing in. Was getting a bit concerned.............thought you had been and had major intervention which left you unfit to surf.
Hopefully you will attend to the problem soon to prevent another painful evening.
Glad your Ibuprofen is effective, but watch the effect it has on an empty tum!

If you need oil of cloves let me know, I've got some you can have. I'm in Thurso.
I have had toothache since friday night [mad]
A friend told me to go and get clove oil, it really works but tastes horrible, I have also been taking alot of painkillers and it has eased the pain, but will be phoning the NHS dental helpline first thing tomorrow to get an appointment

Poor you. No doubt with all the suggestions on this thread you will have found something to choose from to ease it. Obviously your clove and analgesic helps so stick with it.

I have been taking ibuprofen for years. Never take them without food.
They act on prostaglandins that protect the stomach wall. The effect is lessened by digesting food simultaenously.
Without food, regular Ibuprofen risks stomach ulceration and internal bleeding. They are an N.S.A.I.D. a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug...not a conventional painkiller. You might be better of with a strong codeine, or paracetamol based tablet. I'm sure you know that medium to long term a dentist is the only answer. In November last I had a huge filling in a back tooth, which has all but come away now. It cost me forty quid ! There is no pain as yet but it will come...it is inevitable. Best get it sorted next month.
That was me phoning the NHS dental helpline this morning and they phoned back to tell me that I couldn't get an appointment until tomorrow which I think suck big time, [mad], got stronger painkillers, pain not to bad now its alot easier
