Feel your pain. I'd rather give birth than have bad toothache
Ok as a temporary fix ...get a mug of hot salt water. Hot as you can bear, not warm.
Swill it round your mouth and round that tooth. Warning-it will probably initially make the pain worse.
Do this for a few minutes. Pain will usually subside after around 20 mins.
Alternatively try putting sensitive toothpaste on the offending tooth.
Some people swear by clove oil bit that's never worked for me.
The hot salt water has done the job previously tho.
Good luck and try find an emergency dentist.

For dental work you can phone emergency dentist but toothache abcess you can phone 111 for advice if it through a filling you will be advised to get a temp filling from boots/superdrug.
Unfortunately they not allowed to drill until they have new protocol in place .
Hope you get it sòrted.. k |

Orajel and cocodamol is a start.
My son ended up at A&E the other week due to his dentist being closed and not offering help. He rang 111 and got antibiotics but they didn't work, rang 111 back and told to go to casualty. He ended up at 2 hospitals as first had no maxillo facial doctors in.
Good luck!  |

Hydrogen peroxide rinse, cold press where it hurts, garlic and also I’ll brushing more where it hurts and using mouth wash. I’ve had toothaches and they seem to go when I brush my teeth but idk maybe they weren’t that bad |

There are a network of urgent dental care centres throughout the UK which can provide emergency treatment.
Ring 111 if out of hours or your own dentist in normal working hours.
They can and should be treating people with toothache. |

I totally feel for you OP, had excruciating pain myself, to the stage where i was in tears. Was not in corona time though.
I used clove oil and was taking paracetamol every 4 hours until i could get to the dentist.
Hope you get things sorted   |

If you can get into an emergency dentist you may find that all they are doing are extractions, I had this but it was better out than the pain I was suffering. Good luck |

Even my regular dentist is only doing extractions, unless you self isolate for two weeks. I can't. I'm still working. Mines not too bad if I don't eat, so it's making the diet easy at least. 
How you getting on OP? |

I've just had an argument with my dentist. Called 3 weeks ago with my problems to be told to wait see if it gets worse.
Just called again, spoke to a different dentist- asked for their names so I can make a complaint and all of a sudden I've got some antibiotics prescribed today |

I needed a root canal filling and then had to go into shielding. Hurts like mental and all I can have is antibiotics or an emergency appt to have the tooth removed. Allergic to brufen too so that's a non starter as a remedy |

You should be able to get some root canal work done at a urgent dental care centre, just means they have to wear a lot of PPE! |
