😠 $#!? Toothache!!!!!! 😠

BAD NEWS: Woke me up at 4:00 AM.

GOOD NEWS: These 3 Orajel products WORKS in the following order......

For me. By the time I got back into bed, I drifted right off to sleep! Woke at 7a.m. for a nature call to realize NO PAIN! My gum around the tooth is no longer sore either. It's like the toothach was only a dream. Was it? NOPE! products still sitting on the bathroom sink right where I left them 4:00 AM.

I believe product #2 did the trick. First time user. First time "instant" relief.

Yikes...that sounds awful. Glad you got relief, but please make a dental appointment. You could have an infection going on.

@Mz iMac Toothaches are one of the worst, but Orajel is great. I wish that they made that for every body part! Even though I rarely have a problem with my teeth, I never travel without it.

I agree with @alicedee to make a dental appointment. Even in these crazy times, it is still better to see the dentist than to depend on Orajel. Good luck and get rid of that pain!

Thank you, Mz iMac

That is good to know. I appreciate you letting us know that the products do work when needed.

If you have a toothache, you don't want a product that is just good marketing. You want something that produces results..

@Mz iMac Toothaches are HORRIBLE. I would call and get an X-ray of the tooth....they can see what is going on and address the issue. It may be nothing serious or it may show infection starting and tooth die off....

You could give it a couple days to settle down....sometimes teeth just act up....flare up and then it goes away....

BUT....if it is the tooth dying....the tooth ache will come back with a vengeance. Better to address the tooth BEFORE you wait too long and your face get all swollen and miserable.

I have had about 6 root canals....all started with a tooth ache. I learned my lesson NOT to wait to long. The last time I became terribly swollen in one day...and could not open my jaw to let him work on the tooth! It took days of strong antibiotics to get the swelling down enough to open my mouth🙁

Wow, they can hurt. Hope help will come to the rescue.

I think it all depends on where you live. I live in a small area. If I lived in New york, California, chicago, etc. I might take a different stand.

People I know don't do stupid stuff like party hardy and get looped in large, unmasked crowds, swim (no water to swim in around here) go to beaches, attend music concerts, we're all squares. LOL

These people having big weddings, parties of all sorts inviting all ages of people who have been no telling where with no telling who are just asking for trouble. What the media doesn't tell you is I bet the majority of cases are amongst the ladies of the night, etc.

It might take the pain away, but it doesn't solve your problem. Please get to a dentist ASAP. Pain means infection, a crack, or decay. Unless you get treatment, you might lose the tooth.

Update #1

7 1/2 hrs later (11:30 AM)

Still pain free after eating a hardy breakfast.

A small filling came out of a bottom back tooth. I thought I swallowed it in my sleep. Found it on my bed.

I live in N.J. Not going to a dentist until a TRIED & TRUE vaccine is discovered/available. In the meantime, all pharmacies have OTC tempory dental fillings. Will use if it becomes necessary.

@Mz iMac I live in NY but my dentist is in NJ. I have been twice in the past month. All precautions were taken. I had no problems. I don't have any bad health problems that I have to be worried about though.

Glad that you are feeling better, but as others have suggested I would make a dental appointment. God forbid if it's a root canal that is needed.

Better to get it taken care of before it really shows you who is boss. If it decides to do that, no amount of topical solutions can stop that pain.

SeaMaiden — Mon, 24 Aug 2020 15:48:24 GMT

@Mz iMac I like you are trying to stay home and safe... but when an emergency comes up like what you are dealing with you need to address that NOW. I had a crown break in half right after the pandemic started... even though I am not going for cleanings and such, I went in and had a new crown put on the tooth. You do not want to wait for the tooth to absess... infection is probably the most dangerous thing to let happen.

Your dentist will be taking all the precautions... Please do not put off getting this tooth fixed.

@Mz iMac @thank you for the great review on the products. i should have it on hand. my question to you is, do i really need all 3 to make the pain go away? and does it work immediately? thanks!

You're welcome.

NOPE! #2 product (Toothache) is the one that works immediately.

and does it work immediately? thanks!
#2 - INSTANT relief
#1 & #3 - taken back to back, relief (slight pain-none) takes about 30-45 minutes (sometimes sooner) before relief. You will need to use again every 3-4 hours and/or when you feel the pain coming back.

Nearly 1:00 PM & I am still PAIN FREE! No indication I've ever had a painful toothache. Reason why I "suspect" the Toothache product is the reason.
