put an ice pack on your cheek where the pain is. try taking some tylenol, try calling the dentist to see if they can get you in earlier or prescribe you something else that will help ease the pain.

12 year old molars? What does that mean?

Best thing is to get them removed if they are hurting that much. See your dentist. Also gargling with salt water helps and putting ice on them also helps for some people.

Answer #4

It doesn’t. I had mine hurt badly.

Answer #5

You can’t get them removed.

Answer #6

I find a sage tea helps dull the pain (Steep some sage in boiling water) and some advil or tylenol or try chewing on some cloves, the juice from them will help numb the pain. Hope you find something that eases the pain for you.
