Betty,
I have more than my share of toothaches!  I sympathize.  Here are a couple
of things that might help: 1.  Rub ice between your palms-- won't last long
2-5 minutes.  2.  Pinch the"web" or the skin between your thumb and index
finger for it is a pressure point.  I have had no luck with this one but my
two friends, nurses, say this works. 3. My old dentist once told me to put
an aspirin on the gum next to the tooth that hurts. 4. Make some very stong
tea but save the bag for use after you drink the tea.  Then hold the teabag
next to the culprit.  Hope one of these work.

Betty,

Try taking a whole clove and biting down on it.  It has some natural
anaesthetic that's supposed to ease the pain.  Feel better! <hugs>

I also wish I could find something that would stop this blasted toothache.
I
have a dentist appointment Monday but I am in so much pain now I don't know
how I'm going to make it until then!  He prescribed percoset for me at the
last appointment, but it's not even touching this pain.  I thought percoset
was supposed to be strong.
