3. Get thee to a pharmacy....there's a full range of emergency products now
to tide you over 'til you can get to a dentist. Even temporary caps. Hope you get to feeling better soon.

I know the thought of it makes you shiver but it works.

If you can't get to drug store for temp filling goo, do you have some household wax around the house?

Edit to add: There is at least a 3 month wait to get in where I live. Can I come visit you?

6. oil of cloves...
...used to be used for toothache.

How about some of that Numzit teething gel? It has benzocaine in it, and is used for dental pain a lot.
