Whiskey for toothache

Submitted by shawn

If you have toothache and a bottle of whiskey in the house, put some on your finger and rub over the gums that are hurting to take the pain away.

Toothache Comments By: Anne

Great tip and it really works, too.
Also, if you have a hole in the tooth where a filling has dropped out, you can get a small piece of cotton wool, soak it in whisky, then put it in the hole.
Just be careful not to swallow it !!.

It works! Comments By: Harold S. Crawford

I have had toothaches on and off for years,and I have tried everything pretty much, and Whiskey is by far the most effective remedy there is! Next runner up would be when my wisdom tooth was coming in (years ago) I took 4 Advil and 4 Tylenol. It worked excellent and the tooth never hurt again, probably wasn;t the best thing to do. :)

Peanut Butter! Wow! Comments By: Neal

Less than a minute ago I read a mention of peanut butter on this page, and happened to have some nearby. I have just dabbed some on my very sore cavity and...INSTANT relief!

Amazing!

Thank you to the person who mentioned peanut butter. I have been in agony for several hours and am trying to avoid alcohol for various reasons.

Try peanut butter, IT REALLY DOES WORK!! Who the heck thought of this one first? I can just picture someone rumaging away in cupboards - ah ha! I'll try a dollop of this...2 minutes later..... wehay, kiss that pain goodbye! Genius.:O)

oh it works alright.. Comments By: SteveEastYorks

I had serious toothache,dentist eventually pinpointed the pain to be a cracked tooth caused by a filling.Whiskey numbs the pain.only downside is that it cost me 3 bottles of good malt.hehe.

ANyone have any more ideas???????????????

wonderful Comments By: millyrose

i am waiting to have a tooth out but i have to wait to be given a course of hepatitis b vaccs because i need to have a blood transfusion before i have to tooth out so it is going to be another 4 to 6 months before i can have it out i have had toothache for 2 days now and i have just used whiskey on it and it has taken the pain away it is really good and pain releif the old remedys are the best.

Peanut Butter really works Comments By: felicity de bruyne

This does work, I tried cloves with oil, pain killers and ice. I tried the massaging the lobe of the ear and squeezing the finger nails all to no avail. I put the peanut butter (smooth) straight onto the jaw bone and over the tooth and within seconds NO PAIN.
Thanks

Whiskey Comments By: Jim

Ok, who mentioned peanut butter.
I thought I would go for the double and cram my mouth full of peanut butter whilst filling whatever voids were left with whiskey.

I have just about finished throwing up and have to admit it took my mind completely off of the pain for a couple of hours
