Q: what is best for toothache pain
Thor,
It's best to go to a dentist! You need to find the "root" cause (pun intended) for your toothache.
Please write back if you have a dental phobia...and let us know specificially what you are afraid of (if you are) and maybe one of us can give you some help with that.
Regards,
Dr. Jennifer Fee

Taking antibiotics prescribed by dentist for an infected tooth he's been doing a root canal on. After 4 days on meds, now I wake up to a horrible toothache. Any home remedies I might use?
