    Hi

    My Dentist told me to put some clove oil onto cotton wool and bite on the cotton wool and it did help to take pain away.

    you can get a gel called Orajel from chemists which can really help to numb the pain (but only for a short while). It's about £4/£5.

    Hope you get it sorted soon as toothache is miserable

    Have you contacted an actual dentist yet? Can you not get your appointment brought forwards?
    How to find a dentist.
    1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
    2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
    3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
    4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.

    I rang as soon as they opened on Monday morning but they are fully booked and can't even squeeze. It's ok, only another 2 days to go :) (I've stopped whinging on to everyone now so it must be hurting less!)

    Oraldene mouthwash tastes horrible but it numbs the mouth.
