Dental Opinions, Toothache after having a filling.
So here is the issue I am having. I do not have dental insurance and do not work since I am on permanent disability. I was able to go to a dental clinic for a free cleaning and at they time they told me I needed to redo a filling I had because it was crack.
Since they are doing the dental work for free I let them redo the filling too. However ever since they did the filling I have been having a really bad toothache and can not sleep at night. I am not sure what to do because the waiting list to go back to the clinic is over a month. Please help

Well you can try babing the toothache pain until you can get back into the clinic regarding the tooth pain. Try taking Advil or Alive both work well.
Also there is orajel that may help to numb the pain. But if you can not afford to see a dentist without going to the clinic I am not sure what you can do.

Have you called the clinic back up and told them this is not something new that your tooth hurt do to something they may have done. Tell them how you are in a great deal of pain. Maybe they will take you in sooner

Are there any other dental clincis you can go to? The one I go to does not book appointments. You have to go there and wait all day in hopes you get to be seen.
That sucks but seems to better then waiting a month when you are in pain.
Try putting garlic on the tooth in question that will help kill the pain.
