I here a lot of "just see your dentist" whenever someone has a toothache. Good advice of course but a lot of us just don't have insurance or extra money.
This tip is for those of us living with bad teeth, ginivitis, or periodontal disease. At the very first sign of a toothache, which usually indicates a gum or bone infection trying to take hold, rinse your mouth twice a day in hydrogen peroxide. About .89 cents in any grocery store or drug store. Don't use it more than that as it can be hard on the gums. It will usually take care of it in a couple of days. This only works if you use it at the first sign that something is wrong. I have periodontal disease and I keep a bottle of it in the house. Don't forget the age old advice to brush at least twice a day, and floss (especially floss).
I don't know if this will work for everyone. I only know it works for me. If this helps even one person, I'm happy.

If anyone else has any tips for us I would like to see them posted here. I'll come back to see any and all ideas.

Thanks everyone
