dental assistant here. a toothache not being touched by 800 mg ibu is (in a lot of cases) abscessed and cannot drain- pressure is building up in the jaw.

try and keep your mouth as clean as possible, use the oragel others have mentioned, keep up with ibuprofen (it reduces some inflammation, just dont take multiple doses of 800mg in a day) and pair it with acetaminophen (make sure it isnt mixed with ibuprofen). ace and ibu treat pain in different ways, and its best to have both. rinse with warm salt water- it can help draw infection out.

also- if it is an abscess due to an untreated cavity reaching the nerve of the tooth, it can continue to get infected even if it clears up eventually. until a root canal and crown are done, it's an open path for bacteria to get into it.

i cant diagnose though. it could be an impacted tooth getting infected, or damaging the root of another tooth. impacted third molars can destroy the teeth next to them if they arent extracted in time. it could be a fracture from trauma. you could be clenching and/or grinding your teeth so much you've shredded the enamel.

this is in fact a dentist level threat to get it treated but ik that getting a visit is financially hard. if you find a cheaper one in your area, ask if they have payment plans. community health centers may be an option depending on your area.

im sorry and i really hope it at least lets up on you soon. those nerves are some of the most sensitive in the body and i dont wish that on anyone

Yeah I've been worried that the cavity was turning into an infection or smthn for the last 2 or 3 days ... luckily tho I already had a dentist visit scheduled for this Tuesday 💛 Got some oragel + ibuprofen so it'll just be a rough weekend is all

hey there!! i'd been checking this blog for a while, and I really wanted to say you're a great source of inspiration haha! I really love your dog characters and your lore! The amount of research and dedication is really amazing!! about ludovica's gf, do you mind if I come in with my vision as well? I think she'd be a really fluffy dog, maybe with curly hair. so my mind went to the portuguese water dog; but then i thought of two versions: long hair and short hair. so i drew both (tried my best to make her look like a lady and not a grandpa haha)
