Call your dentist and ask to see someone ASAP! I've been there and the tooth may have abcessed and if that's the case it's very serious! You need medicine. If they don't respond than either try another dentist's office or go to the ER. They should be taking care of you. I hope you get help soon!
Called the dentist expressed my pain - so I'm going in the morning. For some reason the asst. said she was under the impression I was just mildy irritated.

Good for you!!! Hope you feel better. Tell the dentist how you felt when you see him/her. Hopefully the next patient won't have to go through the same ordeal.
I use tinctures and am keeping myself from major dental work on an area now for almost 10 yrs. Oil of Oregano and Myrrh Tincture are 2 I use. And I've made up a solution of some other stuff and use it daily on the area. Otherwise you may need dental work.
BTW: a friend deals with pain and she's had dental work and 3 crowns in recent years...she uses these tinctures too.
I waited until the pain from my wisdom tooth was unbearable before calling my dentist. Now they can't see me until the 24th - I feel like I'm dying, although I've noticed the pain is a lot more noticeable when I'm thinking about it for some reason when I'm thinking about something else it doesn't hurt. Anyway, I'm not getting much sleep and my dentist assistant lady told me Aleve and Orajel might ease some of the pain - it did the 1st day but now it does Nothing!
Any tips on things I can do, that might give me temporary relief?
A sore tooth... A string... A door with a good knob... see where this is leading to?...
That method may work on a kids primary tooth thats just about falling out anyway but on a fully developed adult wisdom tooth it wont be so easy.
