The extra strength OraJell is helpful. You can also get ice from the hotel, which helps reduce swelling of inflamed tissues. A small ziplocbag is handy for applying the ice to the inside of your mouth.

None of these remedies will handle a major emergency with a bad tooth. But they might be OK for small problems. For a major emergency you will need prescription meds using Ibuprofen and coedine. Even these are only partially helpful.

The best solution is to cancel travel if you feel a toothache coming on. Dont try to tough it out. Serious tooth pain isone ofthe most difficult types of pain to control effectively.

Good luck,
Pete
