I recently found myself in this situation. While eating a meal at a local fast food restaurant my girlfriend bit into a bone and shattered a molar of hers. We looked for emergency Denstists but had no luck finding one, nor did we have the money at the time to pay for one. We ran to the local Walgreens and got a temporary puddy like cap for the tooth and some pain reliever to hold her over til we could get to a Dentist in the morning. Boy do I wish I had found this article before that happened.
All wound up being alright, she went to the Dentist the following day and after a few more visits was back to normal.
I found an interesting article online submitted by Dental Roots and Advanced Family Dental PC and would just like to share it...
Sometimes a toothache presents itself and disappears with a dose or two of aspirin. But when pain in your mouth persists, it’s wise to visit a dentist to determine the cause of the discomfort. Sometimes it’s clear which tooth is causing the pain, but other times the pain is more generalized or hard to pinpoint. This may be the case when an infection exists in the root canals of a tooth, and/or in the gum tissue next to it.
Regardless of the location of infection, a thorough analysis must be done by an experienced dentist to have the best chance of saving the tooth.
