Hot tip: get your tooth dry so it'll stick and do a temp filling with a bit of beeswax. Obv can't eat on it or anything, but helps a lot with the constant background ache

brill, thank you for the advice!

Was thinking about this, how're you going?

Thank you for staying in touch! I've yet to try your suggestion yet, though I sent my fantastic other half to get some wax from a local heath foods store so it's on my list.

At the moment, I've learned to ease flare-ups by pressing inwards on the tooth, holding it there for a minute or two, and taking a few open mouth breaths to even out the temperature, and the pain seems to go away for a bit!

I'll let you know if I have to break out the bumbley boi cure!

Good luck and godspeed, my Brittanic friend
