I used garlic as needed, every time the pain started I would slice a tiny piece off and hold it between my gums and lip. I also made garlic tea and gargled Hydrogen Peroxide every other night. (Only con: I smelled like garlic for a few days)
The pain slowly subsided each day, and after 4 days it was COMPLETELY better. Within a week, the pain and tenderness was 100% gone.
PLEASE try this before going to the dentist... It sounds so ridiculous but it really does work. I was ready to schedule an emergency appointment because the pain was so severe; I just wanted someone to pull it out, I couldn't even think straight. Garlic worked like a Vicodin for the pain and must have eventually killed the infection... I have no clue what it did, but it worked.
Earth Clinic has had this result for me many times but this time I felt I had to come back to donate $15 to the website; this site is so SO valuable. As a person with no health insurance, I'm SO thankful for all of the contributors and the site itself.

Just had the same issue and had the tooth extracted. Found out that an abscess tooth is a very serious issue and can cause death if left untreated. The #14 molar has direct access to the sinus cavity and brain and is only 2 inches away from the brain. Please seek help if you develop a fever, nausea and vomiting and so on. The garlic is awesome for the pain though.

A toothache came on suddenly today, and it was just mind-numbing, sharp throbbing from the gumline up. Several years ago I was told this tooth may eventually need a root canal, but only if it was ever bothersome or painful.
I bought some drug-store gel with 20% Benzocaine in it, but it just dulled the pain for about 15 minutes. The pain kept reemerging.
I saw all of the YEA's for Garlic and had to test it for myself. Took a clove of it and peeled it, cut it in half and placed the fresh piece to my gums. It burned for about a minute, but for the first time in about 8 hours, I literally have no pain. I'm wondering how long it will last, about 25 minutes now and it's still feeling good.
This is so fantastic. Earth Clinic always comes through. Thank you thank you THANK YOU!

I found Earth Clinic and started reading the testimonials about tooth pain and garlic. Well, I had nothing to lose by trying this, after all I was desperate and I don't have $500 to spend not to mention the pain of having a root canal. Well, let me tell you, after putting the first clove of garlic in my mouth and biting down on it where I was having the pain I felt the burn, yah; just like everyone mentioned, if you can put up with the burn for about 10 mins you will feel relief. It's true! I have only done this once so far and I do feel some relief. I plan on doing this several more times today and I pray I will not need the root canal. I felt I needed to share this with anyone else who is experiencing tooth discomfort. Hey just try it...... What do you have to lose, you will have some burning and I did have extra saliva but it is so worth it. Thanks to everyone who shared their stories on Earth Clinic. Thank God for natural remedies like this one. Karensiesta :o)

i was suffering from tooth pain and swelling for couple of days. Went to pharmacy and they gave me Advil .... I called my dentist as i was in vegas and he suggest me to go to dentist in Vegas and to check out and to get antibiotic. Was calling almost every dentist in Vegas there was no luck and in hospitals they were really very rude and hopeless... And then i remember garlic and was checking on net how to use.
i just cut garlic on half and put around the tooth and press for nearly 10 minutes. Be aware they will be pain but in less they 30 minutes my pain gone, my gum open and all passage went off and i got no pain, swelling gone and was like i never had any tooth pain.
hope helps to you too

Send your hubby to GNC to get olive leaf extract. I was in your high heals last year and the olive leaf extract works! I know this site does not allow one to mention brand names but in this case I hope they make an exception as that brand is the most effective! I did end up having the wisdom tooth pulled but after 7 months of stalling with the olive leaf extract. It really does kill the bacteria and reduce pain and swelling. I know you will feel the difference in 8 hours once you have taken 2 and then 2 more in about 4 hours.
I have another tooth where the amalgam filling has come out and got infected. I have been on the olive leaf extract since Feb and no more pain. I just have to be sure to clean the tooth out each night. I have been looking around town for root canal alternatives such as direct pulp capping. Till then, the olive leaf extract is a god send!

I am a dental assistant and I'm so sorry you're in pain. Dissolve a tsp of baking soda in 4 oz of warm water and swish it around the tooth for 30 seconds to a minute. Baking soda counteracts the acidity in the bacteria/decay & should relieve your pain. I hope this works for you!

Dear Camojunkie, An absessed tooth is a serious condition and requires a good dentist to resolve this potentionaly dangerous infection. You tried some alternative treatments and they did not work for you. Get to that good dentist as soon as possible. This condition can lead to very serious infections some of which are life threatening....Oscar

I've had a tooth that was sensitive to cold liquids for over 3 weeks now. I've gone to the dentist a few times for regular check-ups, but neither dentists I've seen found anything wrong with this particular tooth. Well, it had took a turn a couple of days ago, and it started to hurt when I bit down on it. Near the gumline of the tooth, there was a bruise-like coloring, which is probably where the pain was coming from. I tried clove oil by putting some drops on a Qtip and rubbing it on the gums below the tooth. It numbed it for a while, but the pain came back. I came online and found out that I should put 2-4 drops of clove oil in 1/4 water and use it as a mouthwash. That worked for a bit. I just tried the garlic remedy, and that helped alot more. I took a clove of garlic, cut it in half, and placed it (sliced part) on the tooth and the gum below it. Then, I decided I would just use the garlic to cap it over the tooth and gum. That burned ALOT so I washed my mouth with water, and it felt better. I did it 3 more times, and that bruise near my gumline became a normal flesh color again. I was totally shocked!!! The pain is not there either when I bite down. I'm now gonna try that garlic infused water and rinse my mouth with it. I threw in 3 partly crushed cloves of garlic in a cup of water and boiled it in a pan. I'll be rinsing with it throughout the day. I also forgot to mention that I sliced garlic into thin sticks and used it like a toothpick to get to the gums between the infected tooth and the tooth next to it. It may be thin, but it burns, too.
