Few things are more annoying and nagging like a toothache 😬 I have a remedy for you, though, if you experience pain after dental work. Get a plain, black tea bag — not camomile, peppermint, or another type, just plain black tea. Remove the string & tag, then place it in your mouth where the pain is concentrated and leave it there for a bit. It sounds crazy, but it will help! Keep it in there as long as you feel it necessary, and repeat as needed!
I had a tooth extracted ("cut out"/pulled) a few years ago. My dentist said the tooth might be saved with a root canal, but it was so far gone there were no guarantees. And since it was the backmost molar on that side, I opted for the extraction, instead. The pain that hit me a couple hours after leaving his office was almost unbearable and I was nearly in tears from it. The oxycodone the dentist gave me did nothing whatsoever to even take the edge off the pain. Then someone told me about the tea bag trick, and I will be forever grateful for that advice!
