    sounds like you need antibiotics and pain meds. if your going in monday and you just got to make due until then get a bottle of nyquil and sleep until then.

    if you cant go to a dentist just go to a pet store and buy some tetracycline which most have or even better some amoxicillin Fish Mox (amoxicillin) - Allivet Trusted Pet Pharmacy take about 1000 milligrams per day and the infection will clear up. but the tooth will have to be pulled if its broken or bad cavity. you can usually pop them out with a metal pick something like this but you may want to dull the tip a little to avoid ripping your gum apart.


    if you dont have anything like that just grind a phillips screw driver down to a pic with a file, belt sander, or on the cement. if it has a small bend in it like a prybar you can dig under the tooth and rip it out fairly easily. just pack the hole with cotton or gauze after its out and dont suck on anything for a few days. (smoking or straws).

    Holy sh*t ,you guys are nuts.I just went through this with my wiife and son at the same time ,its in fection you need to get out first,with antibiotic like the last post said ,i agree.However i dont agree with pullin it yourself.risk of more infection.if you can get an antibiotic and a pain pill that will do it for ya ,loritab 10/500 x1.5 will do .then dont go tomm unlesss its to get meds cus he wont pull it till the infection is gone and youll pay for 2 visits.yes also heat will help,and idk about the old wiskey trick to be honest .good luck buddy.

    also to kill a little of the pain for pulling get some benzocaine or something like it at walmart. little tube of gel you rub on your tooth.
