Reply:the only thing you can do is wait and take painkillers...
Reply:If you are in a tremendous amount of pain I would also suggest going to the ER. They can give you something for the pain. Good Luck.
Reply:Anbesol and Aleve. And call your dentist first thing in the morning. If your dentist doesn't have an after hours phone number, call evey dentist in the phone book until you find one that does. Otherwise, keep applying the Anbesol and keep taking the Aleve until you Monday.





OR you can go to the emergency room now and they can give you something for the pain and write you a short prescrption that will last until Monday.





Whoever suggested that you call 911 is an idiot.
Reply:Are you in pain because of the sensitivity?? or are you having severe tooth pain that would cause you to seek care at the emergency room?? If it is because of the sensitivity you can put some fixadent in the bridge and put it back on until you can see your dentist on Monday. If it is severe pain you can take some pain medication and seek care at an E.R. where they could give you a narcotic and an antibiotic.
Reply:jlouise8 gives good advice, but if you don't have Fixodent and can't get out to get some, use toothpaste. Get it? Tooth. Paste. But seriously, this will actually work to hold your temporary bridge in as it will develop a seal. It's not as strong as the Fixodent, but it will keep the air and saliva out. If you do use Fixodent, try to put just a little bit in there. It would be best if you can sort of "paint" a thin layer with a toothpick or something similar. Use enough to coat it so it forms a seal with your tooth, but don't just gob it in there as this might keep the bridge from going all the way down and you'll have pressure when you bite down.
