Depends how old you are !
If your of legal age ..... alcohol (whiskey) swilled around tooth will help to numb pain.

Ok. I didn't take you seriously last time. If you don't have any pain killer... aspirin dissolved directly on the sore tooth, ambesol, whiskey, a sleep aid/pain killer like Nyquil, you're in for a rough night. Is it better or worse with cool/heat? Try a wet rag at the right temp. Accept the pain(essential for the brain to release natural pain killer...trust that).Think of fond memories, focus away from the pain. I hope you make it through.

Toothache in the night...first take your pain killer...then immediately gargle with TCP and brush your teeth, this will clean the affected area and numb things for a while giving the medication time to kick in, for me it's around 20 minutes... Have a warm milky drink to help you sleep.
Get your head down straight away and TRY to submit to the sandman. As soon as the bed gets warm again the tabs will have taken effect and you should be comfy enough to sleep.
nite nite.

If you have any, use Oragel.......this will numb the tooth and take some Benadryl....try to get to sleep. Hopefully this will work. Also, apply heat/cold to the affected area --whichever works better. You can also hold warm or cold -- whichever feels better on it....in your mouth......probably warm salt water would help it.....I hope something works and you can get some sleep........
Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe look at your credit card Bank statements.
Also read the labour party manifest, or consider your council tax bill and whether your job is secure. etc etc.
Worrying about things, does tend to take your mind off pain.
