Poor thing.. Toothaches can be very very painful.. I've had a few (recently too)..
One of the home remedies you said you were trying besides painkillers was heat.?
Heat is the wrong way to go.. Turn it upside down, reverse.. COLD is the way to go.. Ice pack, cold packs.. Whatever you can use.. Heat will increase the blood flow to the area, making it more painful, blood pumping through an area will increase pain if there's anything pressing on a nerve..
Remember with cold packs/ice packs, never leave them on for more than 10 minutes at a time.. If you do, you can cause minor soft tissue damage.. Put it on for ten minutes, and due to the cold factor, it should stay well cooled for a few more minutes, and ten minutes after that, you can re-apply the cold/ice pack to your face/chin wherever the pain is for another ten minutes..
Don't use heat packs, don't use anything remotley warm.. Cold does the trick.. What painkillers are you taking.? Paracetamol (for me at least) doesn't work as well as Ibprofuen (i'm not quite sure if that's the correct spelling or not).. So.... definatley Nuerofen over panadol..
I wouldn't suggest sucking on ice cubes though.. Depending on what's causing the pain (if it's an exposed nerve especially) sucking on an ice cube will make the tooth far more sensitive..
Hope it gets better soon :)Health Question & Answer

oh well ok something thats always worked for me is dissolving salt in warm watter.. make a very strong solution.. once youv mixed it just swish it around in your mouth for a very long time or as long as you can and then just spit it out.. do it over and over again it should help..
or you can always use lime juice that always helped me..
oh make sure the water is boiling though when you dissolve the salt in it but dont swish it around when its still boiliing! dont want you to burn youself now..
hope this helps and that you feel better =)Health Question & Answer
