I had terrible toothache and an abscess when I was pregnant so all I could take was paracetamol. I was also using clove oil until I read some stuff online about clove oil and pregnancy so stopped. I ended up getting the tooth pulled out. In my experience clove oil helped until the pain got excruciating then it wasn't as effective. I used loads all over the tooth and gum, instant relief (I don't think your supposed to use this much though!)

Worst pain of my life. Amoxicillin is not enough - you need metrozinadole with it as well ASAP, try and get an emergency dental appointment for tonight. Feel so sorry for you as it’s the only time I’ve wanted to die. X

A combination of painkillers and an ice pack.
Hope it's sorted soon.

I second paramol. Had impacted wisdom teeth. Nothing touched the pain. Paramol allowed me to function.

Warm water and lots of salt...
Use as mouth wash, dentist said to use it
Was shocked how quickly it worked, abscess came up in 3 hours popped it, and did the wash a lot that day, was gone by next morning.
