HELP. TOOTH ACHE.

My SO has an infected tooth that he needs to get pulled but he is in so much pain until he can go to the dentist. I feel so horrible. We just had a baby too (shes 2 months old now) and he has been going to work every day while I stay at home with the baby. I give him such credit for going to work with such a bad toothache. I think hes starting to think that I dont care about him because I tend to the baby all day and night and I get the vibe he feels distant towards me. I dont try to do it on purpose I just aussume hes fine. But hes really not. Do any of you have any home remidies for a tooth ache? I read chewing a clove of garlic until the pain stops will work but thought it seemed crazy.... Please any experiences?😥
