wow that really sucks... I'm not sure what to tell you but maybe you can go visit a dentist wherever you are vacationing? You don't want to ruin your holidays with a sore tooth.

In the meantime don't chew food on that side and take some advil

good luck, and enjoy your holiday!

Any way you look at it you need to get to the dentist but until you do try taking Tylenol and using Orajel.

sorry to hear that. I would try and go to a place that has some of that temp filling stuff. Try and put that in the tooth; probably would not be a bad idea to get some oralgel (for the pain). Then get to a dentist!!! That tooth is probably going to need a crown? good luck.

GET A BENZACINE PRODUCT SUCH AS ORAGEL, ANBASOL FOR THE PAIN. TYLENOL WILL HELP TOO. ALSO GET TEMP FILING(FOUND AT ANY DRUG STORE). USE AS PER PACKAGE INSTRUCTIONS. tHE TEMP FILING WILL PREVENT FOOD PARTICLES & AIR TO CAUSE FURTHER PAIN & IRRITATION. GOOD LUCK!

being on vacation doesn't really affect anything...all you have to do is go to a dentist office that takes your insurance(if you have any) and have them redo your filling. That is the only solution that you have if you do not fix it soon you will cause decay to form in you tooth and so on. It can cause so much damage that could result in a root canal or even just loosing the tooth.

aww that really sucks. sorry to say but you have to see a dentist, find a dentist in that area i am sure they will have one. trust me there is no other way, the same happen to me and my husband, try and find one ask the hotel clerk or information line. good luck feel better. for now take tylenol and numb the area with orejel thats about it but it wont help a lot
