If there is dental school within range they will likely help you out for nothing, I hope.

For what it's worth as I am no dentist, you may be able to find sticks of dental wax at a pharmacy that you can use to at least protect the tooth where the filling was until you can get it looked at. Sadly though, this seems to fit right into the Sam Vimes Boots theory, if you read Terry Pratchett.

John, I sincerely hope that it is just toothache and nothing worse. If I could afford to take out a subscription, I honestly would, but things are not good, unfortunately. 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽 that your health doesn’t deteriorate and very best wishes to you.

I question the pneumonia vaccine as I have had it and the 2 year booster, being told that was all I would ever need; but now they want to give me another booster.....I have refused to have this one. I can't believe it costs $200 for your shot! Total extortion. Lucky I live in NZ where these shots are free and we can apply for up to $1000 free dental treatment through our social welfare scheme. IMO your tax return would be better spent on dental treatment but use oil of cloves in the meantime for numbing it. Cheap and effective. Take care.

Or, bite down an aspirin tablet directly over the toothache: the anti-inflammatory effect will take away some of the pain.
