If you're like me and you've ever had toothaches so bad you can't sleep, you know you've tried mouth wash, cleanign the mouth out, and topical gels like Orajel (which does barely anything and doesn't last long enough).
That is until this morning when I decided to look up alterative remedies on Youtube. Amongst most of them were the same ideas, except one video taht was different.
A guy found out himself that if he got some liquid Ibuprofin pills, like Advil or Equate, puncture it and use a couple drops or so on the exposed root, instant pain relief that will last "six to eight hours" will occur. He also warned it will eat skin, so don't get it on the cheeks and try to avoid the gums.
Well, guess what I just did? Though the pain had mostly subsided from this morning, I was still in pain and could not eat on one side of my mouth because of it.
So, I punctured a liquid gel pill and used a Q-tip to apply it carefulyl to the root. Within thirty seconds the remaining pain was gone -- I'd say that' near instantaneous, as the video promised.
I'm about three minutes into it now and the swelling and pain when biting down has reduced so dramatically, I can now eat -- carefully -- on that side of the mouth.
It's a friggin' miracle cure. So much so I had to share it with you guys. Screw thos oral gels, salt/baking soda water mixtures and all those other ineffective time wasters. This is the way to go!

That would still beat fraking cartoon ponies, though. ;-)

About twenty years ago I went to see this homepathic chiropracter. I had been thrown from a horse, was feeling discombobulated and had a tootache that was driving me insane. He fixed a few things, but I did not expect him to address the toothache. He whipped out a Chinese pressure point poster and showed me how it works. To stop the pain on the left side, he had to apply pressure on the opposite side corresponding to the same tooth. He put rubber gloves on, then pressed a thumb against the inside gum opposite the toothache. He held the pressure for six minutes. I thought he was nuts, but since it didn't cost anymore, I figured what the hell. When I left his office, the pain was beginning to subside. When I got home, the pain was gone. It stayed gone. Two weeks later, the tooth slid out, dead root and all. I would rather have kept it, but ....

I don't have the money. Two broken teeth, two roots to be pulled, hundreds of dollars.
Don't bother suggesting low-cost/free clinics. There's only one here and they got my info' between three and five years ago and never got back to me. Sad reality: if I had been sucking on the government tit, they said they could have moved me right up.
Then last year there was a dental place that had give-back-to-the-community day where they did free dental work for one proceedure per person. I waited for HOURS and then just as it was my turn, guess where they decided to call it a day?
Anyway, after a little over six hours, the pain started to creep back, so I applied more liquid Ibuprofin and the pain is gone again. This trick was exactly as advertised!

As long as I live I'll never understand the mentality of people who become dentists. They are so ... what's the word .. Shylockian? blind-sided? callous? They have no empathy for others. It's all about money.
I don't know which state you live in, but across the border, a root canal is $80. Some dentists in the border towns like Tiajuana, Nogales and Jaurez may jack up the price to as much as $120 for a root canal. If officials on either side ask you what your business is in Mexico, just say "I went to see the dentist" and the officer will nod his head in understanding. They hear it a lot. A great many senior citizens and poor Americans -- I refer to working-poor white people, who are rapidly increasing in number -- seek dentistry and prescription refills on the Mexican side. The dentistry is as good as anywhere in the USA. Plenty of dentists and pharmacies within a couple of blocks of the barrier wall to serve the tide of desperate Americans. Some dentists will try to sell you a gold tooth or a gold enamel -- that sort of thing is popular down there. Say "No! I can't afford it." Walk to the dentist office as if you know where you are going, and pay the dentist with cash. The American dollar commands respect. Just watch your back, stay out of the taxis, and don't act like a tourist and you'll be fine.
The problem is, crossing to the other side got a lot harder after 9 / 11. I used to park my car on this side, walk through the turnstile with everybody else, walk two blocks to the dentist, then line up at the Immigration building with all my I.D. to get back in. Within 30 minutes I'd be back in my car. If you are a born & raised American with plenty of I.D. getting back in is not a problem, it just takes longer than it used to. Expect to be searched and x-rayed. Leave your handgun in the car on the American side or it'll be Saturday night in Sioux City if they catch you with it.

Mexico doesn't have the ridiculous government regulations and tax burdens that companies here have to deal with; especially if you reach the tax bracket that throws your into people who make a million dollars or more, whether you make a million dollars or more.
Quite frankly, the standards for medical practice aren't very high in most areas of Mexico, so you take your chance. Kind of like somebody who thinks they've discovered the secret to cheaper medication by ordering it from some company in Canada, only later to find out they likely have hurt themselves medically.
I actually know a coupel doctors and hear stories about the shit they have to deal with from time-to-time. Just twice the some folks from a government agency, the name doesn't matter -- we'll just call it: We're Gonna Reem You Financially Agency -- came in and the results for one places was several hundreds of dollars in unecessary additions to the building, including an intercom system to page customers, in a room the size or a two-car garage, relocating the entrance door to an entirely different spot on the building, and other bullcrap.
Besides, I don't begrudge them for making money. And I'm sure their employees with debt from years of medical schooling, don't complain about making a good hourly wage/salaried position.
All is not lost for me, however. I can still hold out hope I'll run into better financial circumstances. I could strike up some kind of trade deal with the dental place that did the free work. There's always local/nearby colleges that offer discounted work for people studying and training to enter the dental field, if I can get the money to do that and get into their schedule before it fills up. I did that once for an X-ray of a tooth that had a root that died.

Does anybody remember Marathon Man?
Nazi terrorist dentist Laurence Olivier tortures innocent Dustin Hoffman by giving him a root canal job. He uses OIL OF CLOVE to alleviate the pain he causes.
Recently I was talking to a friend with dental problems. He told me that he gets OIL OF CLOVE at his pharmacy all the time.
He told he he can't live without it.
Natural pain relief.
