Any Dentists Here?

I've had pain in the top and bottom left of my mouth since Wednesday night. Painkillers every 4 hours are the only thing that stopst the pain. I can't see any redness/inflammation. It's a dull ache, punctuated by really sharp pain particularly when I eat or drink. It also feels different when I bite down. Pain is now spreading up my cheekbone.

Any tips for killing the pain until I get to a dentist?

Try alternating paracetamol and ibuprofen max doses for a max of 3 days (hopefully you'll have an appt with your own dentist by then). If that doesn't work try cocodamol and ibuprofen. BUT, you can't take cocodamol if you're breastfeeding. Hope that helps :)
