It's hard to tell you exactly which point will be helpful for your specific tooth pain. I suggest you do pressure at a point between your thumb and index finger for 3-5 minutes, and then do rubbing at the pain area and all around it with balm to relieve the pain. I suggest you see a dentist to get to the source of the problem.
face and hand
Your foot pain and its origin are individual and therefore the points are as well.
there are many points on the body for tooth pain, it depends on what is causing it. I do acupuncture which is stimulation of the points with needles. I do not do acupressure
Depends on what tooth
I recommend seeing a professional for treatment. Our medicine requires patient presence (to do testing to determine imbalance----which then leads to-----> prescription of points. Your symptom doesn't tell me enough. I am going to encourage you to go to a Biologic Dentist to get that checked out, and then find a professional, fully trained acupuncturist with at least a Master's degree in Chinese Medicine.
The tooth pain point is on the hand between the thumb and forefinger where the line between the fingers ends. It's called Large Intestine 4. The point is opposite of the tooth pain side.

If you are experiencing tooth pain, it is our professional responsibility to refer you out to a dentist for further evaluation.

Good morning,

The point for toothaches depends on upper or lower molar. The upper molar will be STO. 36 the lower molar will be LI. Talk to your practitioner.

Tooth pain? Better to get acupuncture for that relief. Try this for temporary relief:
The exact point depends upon what tooth it is, but a generalized point for pain in the head is Hegu or LI 4. See the attached image for the location - it is the tender area on the pointer finger between the thumb and pointer finger on the dorsal aspect of the hand.
You can use LI 4 or He Gu.  It's located on the web of your hand between thumb and index, side of index finger bone (at middle of the 2nd metacarpal bone, radial side).  Look for a tender spot.

There are more than a few pressure points for tooth pain, one being in the webbing between your finger and the thumb.
For tooth pain, you can pressure both hands' Hegu points, it located between thumb and index finger, between the half inch where the two bones join. Also you can pressure the points which located at the jaw.
There are several points that can be used to treat tooth pain. To learn which are best for you, I recommend you visit your acupuncturist.

Short'ish answer: from the perspective of acupuncture/acupressure, there are two channels which are thought to have something to do with the teeth/jaw and are commonly used for tooth pain. One channel handles upper row tooth pain and the other is typically used for lower row tooth pain. You question gives no indication as to where you're experiencing the problem, so there's no way I could provide a useful answer.

This is ultimately the problem with these kinds of question. There is a lot more information I'd require in order to arrive at something moderately useful to the questioner. Since most folks don't have a lot of experience with Chinese medicine, they have no way of knowing what I'd need to know in order to provide a useful answer. This is why it's best to actually visit a board certified and state licensed provider if you're interested in trying Chinese medicine to help with your issue.
