Ugh..... I have this awful cavity in the back of my moler tooth. I have an appointment tomorrow but for the pain I'm not sure what will help me get by. It hurts every now and again!

You may want to try a combination of 2 paracetamol and 2 x 200mg Ibuprofen., but you have to have something to eat or glass of milk and biscuit before the Ibuprofen. Don't repeat until after at least 4 hours ( 4 to 6 hourly). That is if you can take ibuprofen. Supermarkets sell both.

Also you could try warm salt mouthwash. Holding in the mouth till the heat goes from the water.

Hope all goes well at the dentist.

Oil of cloves available at any pharmacy. Kills any toothache dead. Also takes enamel off microwave if spilt!!

Try putting a hot water bottle on the area, that helped me when I had tooth problems. good luck at the dentist, hope you get it sorted.
