Imagine it was a lower right tooth,How To Have Immediate Tooth Relief When Your Dentist Make You Wait Too Long? Articles you are feeling the sharp shooting pain in your jaw.   At its least, it was just a small surge of pain. But, when it really hits you, it feels like something attacking every nerve in your mouth with a jackhammer. You start having pain from the same area, except this time it is even worse. The pain also expands to your tooth and your entire face.

You cannot tolerate your pain anymore. You call your dentist and attempt to set up an appointment immediately with him/her.  The nurse on the other side tells you that your dentist’s appointment was full until two weeks later.  So what can you do to alleviate the sharp shooting toothache before you visit your dentist two weeks later?  What can you do to have immediate tooth relief before you see your dentist?

Well, if you ask the nurse or dentist over the phone during the appointment setting, most probably advice you will get is to take some pain killer for the time being until your toothache subsides.  Painkillers may include over the counter drug OR some prescription painkillers.

It should be fine if you just take these drugs for a day or two, but do you really want to depend on these drugs for two weeks?  Before you do this, you may need to research on their side effects and ask your dentist if it is appropriate to consume these drugs for two weeks straight.

Here are some toothache relief home remedies that you can apply while waiting for your coming dental appointment.  Some of the methods help you to relieve your pain within minutes, and the best part of it is that there is no side effect in the application.

Among the most effective home remedies for toothache is ginger. It will relieve the pain and, sometimes, may even cure it.  First, cut an inch piece size of Ginger root, peel off the skin layer and place the piece of Ginger on the affected tooth. If able, gently bite down holding it in place. Doing this alone can rapidly decrease pain as the healing properties of the Ginger become absorbed into the surrounded affected area.

Again, if you’re able to do so, chew the piece of the Ginger swishing the Ginger juice around the painful tooth.  The remaining Ginger root should provide long term relief and can be stored in the refrigerator should you need additional treatment. The Ginger root also keeps well at room temperature as the cut part of the Ginger root forms a natural seal keeping it fresh for longer.

Besides, you can also use tea bag as a tooth relief home remedy; it should stop your toothache within 20 to 30 minutes.  Tea bag acts as a mild astringent with antibacterial properties.  You can place a standard teabag into a cup of water; place it in the microwave for 1 minute. Then remove the teabag while it still warm and place on the sore tooth. Bite down gently and hold in place for 20 minutes or until you get tooth relief.  You may also substitute green tea with regular tea bag as they both work equally well.
