…and if I knew where to obtain it, I’d be medicating.
I found that vigorously swishing my mouth (well, gently…) with six bottles of beer to be effective, too.
Maybe it still really hurt, but I didn’t care as much after the fourth beer. I’ve never had that much beer in one evening in my life. Weird thing is, I’m not even hungover this morning. Wide awake from resurgent tooth pain at 5:30 a.m., but not hungover.

Well, I’m not talking about getting drunk, certainly not on Listerine. The vigorously part I’ve found essential to get the alcohol in direct contact with the nerve, and also to wash away anything that might be pressuring the nerve.
Once I found blessed relief from a horrible toothache by just swirling hot water around my mouth for a couple of minutes–suddenly the filling on top of the cavity pops out, and no more pressure, no more pain.
