How to get rid of a toothache

I have the worst toothache ever. It hurts so bad that its shooting pains in my ear and giving me a headache. I've tried pain pills and salt water and neither of those are working and the pain just keeps getting worse every 5 minutes that it brings tears to my eyes. Is there anything else you suggest I can try to get rid of a toothache other than salt water, and pain pills?

I use clove oil... errr... maybe it's called oil of cloves. I don't know.
It works wonders but tastes nasty.  

I put it on my tooth with a q-tip when I have severe pain.

Clove oil or just chew cloves.

Mouthwash and salt rinses. It'll take the infection right out. Also, there's this gel stuff you can buy at the drug store.. apply it to the tooth and it helps a lot. Oh, also onions. As you can tell I've had to deal with a lot of toothaches in my life haha

I will try that. I have way too many toothaches I'm only 25 and sometimes I"m about to say heck with all of the toothaches just get all the teeth pulled and go for dentures lol

I have bad teeth and will for a couple more months until I have enough money saved to have them fixed. I usually take tylenol for my pain but it doesn't always work. I've found doing these things usually helps! Good luck and I hope you feel better!
