Right, tooth ache.... cant chew on the side that hurts but the dentist cost a lot and im sure there is a DIY answere to this.
Desert island what would/could you do?
DIY with pictures and a running commentary please.
I have a Dremel I can lend you if that helps.
Oil of cloves?
Whisky?
Pliers?
Piece of string round the door handle?*
Spill someone's pint and hope they go for the right side of your face?
*one of my daughter's friends did this when she was 6 to see if it worked. It did.
Your local NHS should have an emergency offering. Usually based at a community health center or similar.

This works. But you'll be smelly.
Find your nearest dental hospital/college and get a trainee to sort it for nothing ๐
A rotton tooth that needs sorting out, or something that might go away? (I've had a 'bruised gum' in the past, under the tooth. Hurts like a b*stard for a few days then eases off)
Go to the dentist, you plum.

This is the most important thing you can do.
I went to a dentist with my wisdom tooth problem.
They found mouth cancer.
6 months on, I'm alive recovering well and have the rest of my life to look forward to.
If I hadn't I wouldn't be here now.
I repeat...

I'd probably best put the Dremel away then.

Jebus!
Slightly less scary but, I had to have fairly extensive work done a little while back which could've been avoided / minimised if I'd got it treated properly at the outset.
