        someone on this site mentioned clove oil. i think your best bet is get in contact with a dentist today. if that's not possible and the pain is unbearable, go to the er or to the doctor's on the corner who work weekends. (they might give you medicine that will help) also, talk to your pharmacist. (those people know a lot)  good luck. i've never had a toothache, but I know they're BAD. Maybe Ibuprofen. (I dunno)

          Oil of cloves may help. Dose up on some codeine if you can get it from the pharmacy.I have had a few abscessed teeth & it always seems to happen on a weekend when the dentists are all closed.Very strange.LOL

            can you just go to the pharmacy and order some codeine?? in the u.s.
            you have to have a prescription in triplicate and that prescription has to be hand carried to the pharmacy. real tight rules on opiates here.

              Abscessed means poison. Don't delay seeing a dentist. you might need antibiotics
