Hi, I was just wondering if anyone had any home remedies or tricks for getting rid of a toothache. I have a broken tooth and it has grown an abcess.. i went to the dentist today but nothing can be done yet bc the infection has spread and now my jaw is infected as well.. the swelling, pain and pressure is just a lot to deal with. All i have been put on is ammoxicillin and ibuprofen 800s. They help short term but in an hour it's awful again.. any input would be greatly appreciated..
