isn't clove oil a traditional remedy for tooth pain? you should be able to find it in the health food store.

I have no experience using it so I can't offer testimonials.

Sometimes the first dose of advil doesn't help but if you take 800mg every four hours, after 2-3 doses you will feel better.

FWIW, my stomach can't take this much advil for more than 3-4 days.
