Broken molar tooth and is bleeding...Please Help?

My husband has had a broken molar tooth that keeps getting worse. He just got medical (or this would have been taken care of sooner) and I plan on trying to see if I can get him in to the dentist tomorrow. In the mean time can anyone help me and tell me a few things that can relieve his pain? Orajel won't work and neither will tylenol. Also does anyone know what it means when a tooth is broken this bad and starts bleeding? I didn't know if it was badly infected, he has something in there, or what. Thanks to all of the answers and please no smart alecs.

Advil (ibuprofen) is usually more effective than Tylenol for tooth pain, especially if it is taken every 4 hours. To help the bleeding he could try biting on a moistened tea bag...use black tea (Lipton, Earl Grey) rather than herbal because the black tea contains tannic acid and caffeine and can help to constrict the blood vessels.


Please do have him see a dentist as soon as you can, if there's an infection it could be dangerous. He needs to be on antibiotics and have the area at least drained, if not have the tooth extracted. Hopefully the dentist can save the tooth with a root canal.
