I have a really bad toothache (top left wisdom tooth). I don't know when I'll be able to get to this dentist. I hate taking risks with my health, but I really don't have the money. I've brushed the tooth, I've taken ibuprofen, and I even dipped some paper towel in apple cider vinegar and placed it on my tooth, to alleviate the pain. It wouldn't be so bad but every time I swallow it aches. The only time it doesn't is when I sipping water. I'm so frustrated. I even cried not so much because of the pain but because I can't seem to do anything for myself (even the least). I'm just floundering through life. I don't even feel like a real adult.

My grandmother used to take cold wet tea bags when she had a toothache and could not get to the dentist because of a weekend. Don't know if it works but she was convinced.

So please if you try it, no guarantees.

Also, if you have a regular dentist I would just go there and tell them your pain level. I'm sure they will take you in given the horrible pain you are in right now.

I don't have any tea bags, but I've looked up natural remedies. I've done the apple cider vinegar a couple of times. I've swished warm salt water around my mouth, and it helped some. Wisdom tooth extractions are $300 (my dentist is not going to save this tooth). But even with insurance, I would still have to pay $100 upfront, and I just don't have that.
