Toothache help

I have a decayed tooth that was meant to be pulled out in April but the appointment was cancelled. It is now really hurting- anyone have any good remedies to help?

I will ring the dentist on Monday and see if there is a hub somewhere that will pull it out. I don’t think it’s infected, more the temporary filling has all come out so the holes are exposed.

Clove oil is very good but taste god awful , sprays that are for sore throats work ok for a short time but can be hard to aim in the right place/ tooth
Nurofen melters placed between the offending tooth and cheek and left to slowly dissolve work well for me but dont use them to often as they can cause ulcers .

which ever option you pick , in between times rise with salt water as often as you can

You can alternate taking ibuprofen and paracetamol. Check the maximum doses per 24 hours, and make sure you don’t exceed it. You might be able to see an emergency dentist at a local hospital over the weekend. Worth a try.
