In Greece, drinking a bit of ouzo and holding it over the area of pain in your mouth (easiest for wisdom teeth) for about 5 minutes numbs the entire area. Worked wonders for me. Spitting it out is also good since it throws out the bacteria if any, and the alocohol somewhat disinfects the wound.
True, it's only temporary, but it'll help during those horrible moments.
Any alcoholic drink should do, no need to swallow it after.

Go out to a club or something, drink some heavy stuff and let the flashing lights and miniskirts take your pain away. Try meet some new people, your situation might not be the best opener but what chick leaves a guy with toothache alone? Sleep it off and ring for a dentist appointment tomorrow. Good luck!

The dentist appears to be the best option. While painkillers may null some of the pain, the larger nerve in the tooth itself will throb like made due to the near direct connection it has to the neocortex. You must visit a professional so he or she may preform a proper procedure and clean up the infected {I assume by now} area and try to save the root of the tooth or you'll experience a very painful, very expensive procedure called a root canal as a final option.

I had similar problem myself - got infected root, but as i was away from my city (and healthcare in my stupid country works that way, that i can go to dentost only in city i live in to get refunded from health insurance) and had to wait over a week. there are some tips, to help you get through, but keep in mind that if pain is very big and lasts for as long as you say (meaning over a day) you REALLY need to see dentist asap. Even if it stops completely for some time if its infected root next time it will hurt even worse. but anyway: heres tips:
1st. about painkillers - don't just switch brands, as you may be as well switching from one paracetamol to another. If it's infected root paracethamol won't help, as it's infection next to nerves themselves. For me painkillers with codeine helped a lot - best combination is codeine+coffeine - it works almost instantly, so you can easily check if it works for you in a matter of minutes, if not try something different. what's more codeine doesn't interact with paracethamol, so even if you just tried paracethamol you can still try it. But keep in mind, that if you have been drinking in last 6 hours you will have to wait, as codeine + alcohol can damage your liver pretty badly.
2nd. Clean your mouth. very carefully - if possible use paste with painkillers like sensodyne. you have to remove every foreign object from this tooth, as it will keep pressing on damaged area and it will hurt all the time.
3rd. don't eed food which has little fragments when chewed - no grains, bread etc. best for you is to keep drinking light soups via straw (try to drink this way that flow of soup doesn't go to this tooth). This way you prevent next foreign objects from getting to tooth.
4th. stay away from high-sugar drinks (juices, soda etc). best drink water or tea/cofee with no sugar/milk. tooth decay interacts almost instantly to sugar, and when such interaction occurs you will feel pain almost instantly, and pain can stay for quite a long time.
5th. prepare salted water and use thermomether to check it's temperature. you want it to be just slightly above body temperature so 37-38 celcius degrees. take water into your mouth and keep it there for a while - it will both ease a pain a little and help you keep tooth clean. monitor water temperature, if it gets lower add a little hot water. rinse and repeat.
6th. if pain don't let you fall asleep during night good method is to put different short sensation for your brain to facus on. I pushed my fingernails against back of my other hand as much as for it too start really hurt. what your brain does then is to concentrate on this pain, when you release pain is gone, but you are concentrated on pain in tooth less. try to fall asleep while it doesn't hurt as much.
7th. Remember - sleep is the best pain killer! When you are deeply asleep pain will not wake you up! try to get extra tired - work out, watch ultra boring program in tv etc. when you are extra tired try to ease pain as much as possible using methods above and when possible fall asleep as quickly as possible.
8th. Whenever you can GO SEE YOUR DENTHIST! I hate dentists as well and am totally terrified every single time I have to visit one, but believe me - after he opens canals in your root the very exact moment you will want to kill yourself for not getting to him earlier.

Put some alcohol (like vodka?) into surgery cotton, and press it into your teeth. Alcohol numbs the nerves. Tada, pain gone, also you have an extra excuse to drink now!

I can't talk about it, it's in the rules.
But it'd solve so many of your problems.
Hint: 1999 movie reference

Do it like the old days - tie a string around the tooth and pull it out. ^_^
If that doesn't seem to be appealing, then You could do a home vid with one of Your friends punching the tooth out for ya.
You could also try pliers, but then You risk fragmenting the tooth, if it's not grabbed correctly + it would hurt like a bitch.
P.s. The best option would be to man up, stop being a pussy and go to a dentist.

Easiest and least painful option is to go to the dentist for help. They will give you aid and medicine. I had that problem for some time and I went to the doctor and it turned out that my enamel got worn down a lot. Doctors have great advice you just have to follow what they say.

Seeing a Dentist would be the best option from what I can tell. Just make sure to ask for your candy before you leave. :)

Go to the dentist, it will only get worse.
If you had the slightest knowledge about teeth, you would know that you must get it fixed. Not get drunk, high and stoned just to make the pain go away.
If you really have that much of a problem going to the dentist you should talk to your dentist about it. They might be able to provide you with some nitrous oxide, which makes the visit at the dentist worth its while..

As a veteran of failing teeth, I'd suggest some anbesol or other orally safe local anesthetic which you should be able to get at your local drug store. Just rub that on your aching tooth, don't swallow, let it sit for a few mins then rinse out your mouth. Swallowing that stuff will give you a numb throat. Might take a few mins to work, but it usually offers me relief.
If that fails, just punch something. The pain in your hand will be a distraction from the pain in your mouth.

See someone to get antibiotics, tooth pain is usually accompanied with abscess. Clear infection then hold the strongest liquor you can in your mouth, then pliers... Seeing as a tooth abscess can kill easily if the infection is released into the blood... That alone should be scarier than a dentist.

The problem:
Have a terrible tooth ache for 2 days. Thank God, eating now painkillers. For 2 days. But painkillers works only for 3 hours, not more. For the 3d day (now) I choose painkiller + wine (I heard, that alcohol accumulating deeds of painkillers). Its wrong. I drunk, drunk, drunk, but nothing good. Nothing good for my tooth.
So, I know, that I have to go to stomatologist, but I'm frightened them more than snakes, sharks etc. Yes. I frightened stomatologists more than snakes.
So, the best & original suggestion wins. We have 3 hours. Lets begun. :)
