Patient: pain at the back oght of my mouth, i had a tooth chip and thats hurting but i think i also have a wisdom tooth coming up, anyway when i lie down my jaw joint is extremely painfull... is there anything i can do to get some sleep before i go to the dentists? i tried clove oil which helped the tooth but still got the jaw pain Doctor: Hi, Welcome to the forum. Over-the-counter analgesics are common for treatment of wisdom tooth pain.  Clove oil can also be used with a pinch of pepper powder and one quarter teaspoon of rock salt to make a paste to be applied directly to the painful tooth or gum. Chewing garlic or onions is thought to be good for teeth. The gentle massaging of the cheek and the application of ice to the jaw can also help manage wisdom tooth pain.
