What have you tried? I can offer diclofenac and tramadol.

Paramol as it has codeine in....quite strong but worked for me....have to ask for them at the pharmacy.

just had normal paracetamol, have no whisky! it's agony paramol then?

don't think the others will be available at the 7/11 type shop.

You can take paracetamol alternately with ibuprofen - ie. each one every four hours, so you can take something every two hours. I would think that ibuprofen might work better. Some people swear by putting a soluble aspirin against the sore tooth and letting it dissolve.

nurofen is supposed to be good. I remember alternating paracetmol and nurofen after the butcher of norwich yanked my wisdoms out.

oh, she beat me to it.

ok have some soluble asprins too. have a foul taste in my mouth too, that's awful.

always on a sat night

Oil of Cloves is amazing - you should be able to get it at the Pharmacy. You put a drop straight on the tooth. Just make sure that you are seeing a dentist about the cause of the toothache.

Clove oil is good. I also like Panadol extra

I was once told by the emergency dentist to take two paracetamol and two nurofen plus, together. It fixed it.

dp and gone out to find something hopefully.

i'll be first at the dentist on monday science teacher this is agony. it hurts all the way up to my eye, think it's an abscess.

has not and

dentist told me cocodamol (contains paracetamol)

The dentists I work for recommend Nurofen Plus (paracetamol plus codeine)

oops that's ibuprofen plus codeine

oh they've only got anadin with ibuprofen. i'll try them. this is agony.

Your dentist should have an out of hours service for emergencies - they will prob have a number on their answerphone!

i just called them herecomethegirls there is a number if it gets any more unbearable. i'm rubbing white wine on it atm . i've even googled how to remove your own teeth but that put me off.

poor southeastastra. would recommend diclofenac / ibuprofen, codeine (or anything containing it) and paracetamol. Read your info, as long as you haven't got asthma then you can take all of these together - well not in a big handful but ya know what i mean? Have recently had surgery on teeth/jaw and you have my sympathy. If you've got an emergency dentist, try that - and if you haven't, then get to the out-of-hours doctor cos at least you can sort the pain relief.

southeastastra - I would call them, at the very least they might give you a prescription for antibiotics which you can get first thing in the morning. It's not likely to get any less painful overnight.

Try and get some Nurofen Plus tomorrow. You need to get it from over the counter. I rang the emergency dentists, crying and begging them to take the tooth out. I was all ready to pull it myself. Took the above with paracetamol and 4 years later, I still have the tooth.

just called emergency dentist, which was nhs direct who questioned me for 10 mins they said someone will call me within the hour.

tooth doesn't seem to bad today but the bone around it hurts and the taste is getting worse. feel all shivery too. grr wish it was monday and i could just get some antibiocs from dentist.

while were on the subject does anyone know where to get emergency dental treatment if you arent registered at a dentist?
