Awful experience 18 months ago at the dentist which left me with serious TMDJ. Awful awful toothache the other side. Had no choice but to go to dentist today, in agony. X ray showed two infections on root of second lower left molar. Given antibiotics and an endontist consult tomorrow. Very very scared. The pain is horrific, don’t want to end up like last time with TMDJ for a year but cannot live with this pain. Every minute feels like an hour. Paracetamol and Ibuprofen barely touching it. What do I do? How do I get through the night? How to I pluck up the courage for tomorrow. This is awful. Sad.
 
Have you tried ice packs?
 
@geos I’ve been holding cold cans next to my cheek :(
