As seems to be the way with my luck lately, it is edging into Boxing Day and I have crippling toothache. I can't even locate which tooth is the originator of the pain; the entire top right row is radiating agony so bad my cheek freels swollen and the back of my eyeball is starting to hurt. Of course, this had to happen exactly when there are no dental facilities (even emergency ones) open for at least another twenty-four-plus hours. So rather than just whinging, this post is to ask my flish for help: any advice on how to cope with this until I can see a professional? I've done the take-paracetamol and tried crying-with-agony-while-trying-not-to-wake-the-whole-house thing, but neither have worked especially well.
