Recently i noticed a mild toothache. my dentist can’t see me for a couple of weeks. once in a while the pain becomes close to unbearable. would a little whiskey numb the pain?

oil of clove will work better

It must have helped eased the mind some.. Because back in the olden days.. That’s all they offered you before pulling a tooth or sawing of a leg. Thank God for the invention of Novocaine.
Try some warm water and a bunch of salt.. That has helped my toothaches. Swish it between your teeth and spit out

I think it could be a double edged sword. A couple of years ago I had a minor toothache and couldn’t get to a dentist so I drank a beer hoping it would go away if I were drunk or buzzed. Unfortunately, alcohol thins your blood and it made my toothache twice as bad. I’d suggest taking a couple extra strength Tylenol instead of drinking whiskey.

probably not. your best bet is oil of cloves and a pain killer. besides, whiskey will probably get you arrested if you drive.

I think you should find another dentist that can see you sooner, some take walk in patients. If you wait too long it could become abscessed and that is far worse. I hope you are out of pain soon.

Actually, it would help. It’ll soothe the pain temporarily with the warmth.

Not at all. It may well make the pain worse. Try using Sensodyne toothpaste and avoid hot and cold substances. Also avoid sweet foods and soft drinks.
Over-the-counter pain relievers (such as Panadol and Nurofen) may help if the pain becomes worse.
