How do you cope with bad toothache pain when all the dentists are closed?

There are dentists open, but they are all private... I can't afford private 😔

And the public, bulk billing dentists don't open til Monday morning (Australia time)

Do you know the cause? Is it an infection? Or something else?

@AntisocialTroll it's not really sensitive to hot,
But it is sensitive to touch,
Really bad gum irritation,
Could be the metal band digging beneath the gum,
Or the crack got bigger.

It could be my wisdom tooth, but that's not the tooth that hurts

Whatever it is, I just hope it isn't infected or doesn't get infected by Monday morning

@Fishy Check with google but I seem to think you can take 2 ibuprofen alongside 2 paracetamol if the pain is really bad, make sure you don't take more than the max dose of either over the course of 24 hours.
