I'm hoping someone with dental esperience can reply to here asap as a dentist or tooth specialist cannot be gotten hold of in the entire city of Limerick today.

Basically my girlfriend was eating breakfast this morning and she cracked a tooth (upper right 5) vertically all the way through. It's still in place and not causing a huge amount of pain (about 1/3 of the tooth), but the cracked piece is moving in her gum and when it does it's unbearable. We're resigned to the fact that we will not get it seen to until the morning (no hospital, doctor, or emergency service can take her).

What we are worried about is how she is going to sleep. We have tried a gum shield, but that exacerbates the pain.

Does anyone have any ideas?
