Bummer! Have you tried oil pulls? They really help me with tooth problems of almost any kind. Work up to the amount and duration in the guide. If you have some essential oil of clove, add a drop. Great for tooth pain! I'll send you a bottle. You're still on a street that starts with G, right? For super bad pain, put a drop on a q-tip and apply directly to the site.

Yeah I only have OTC pain killers in my house for others, almost NEVER take them myself, can't remember the last time I did. I'm lucky in the pain department. I was having a lot of trouble with pain in my feet, but epsom salt foot baths before bed seem to have helped. I started with those to help me sleep, with some good effect. The foot pain help was an unexpected bonus.
