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

Whiskey A Go Go Comments By: Chad

I have an appointment 48 hours from now and the tooth pain intesified to the point where I could not sleep and was questioning my sanity!!! Finally I came on this site. Tried the peanut butter, but think the pain was too intense so I resorted to the whiskey. That worked like a charm.

Peanut butter works for me!!! Comments By: Wayne

I had a tootache not long aho. After reading about the peanut butter trick, it does really actually work. Since then I had no pain, apart from the time if I eat something too hot or too cold. Best time to do it is paste the peanut butter around the painful by using a clean swab.. Within hours the pain will disappear. But do this before you go to bed, for better chances.

how to burst an abcess Comments By: darren

ive had numerous abscesses through the years,and the best remedy ive found,is simple vodka,whisky has elements of sugar in it with irrates the tooth where vodka has no sugar.....simply take a small amount in the mouth and try and rest it on the tooth for as long as you can,dont swallow it but just spit it out,repeat this every 3 hours,it will kill the infection and eventually will burst the abscess

Forget the 'old wives tales' Comments By: Christopher

I had an abcessed tooth that got to bone and began to throb with pain. Ibuprofen and Orajel were not helping like they used to and Dentist wound't be in for another 6 hours so I had to constantly swish fluid to numb the tooth. Out of the three remiedies I tried (Listerine, Salt Water, Whiskey), Whiskey would numb it the longest. Most dentists will say forget the Whiskey and do the other remedies; but when the rest fails, it never hurts to try! thank you JD!

PEANUT BUTTER Comments By: Craig

My wife says that it works,but she is struggling not to bloody eat it all first.

OMG Peanut Butter Comments By: DAMN TOOTH PAIN

I have been in so much pain all day at work and then I got on here, I tried the vanilla extract, warm salt and water, using my finger to find pressure points and nothing worked. I put a good amount of peanut butter on my gums and the pain went away in like 5-10 minutes, I'm so scared the pain is going to come back I keep putting the peanut butter on my gum. Good thing I like peanut butter...

whisky, warning Comments By: killer-tooth

im half way through my dads blue lable whiskey, it does the jod, but i warn you to do it in small amount with cheap stuff, not a bottle that costs around £110 quid, but the best cure i have had is, peacful music, vodka and a buket, just in case you drink to much, at least you wont be in any pain
