    You are unliekly to find an emmergency dentist now, VHI swiftcare in dundrum is you last bet I would guess.

    That trauma can likely wait until tomorrow covered with some calpol for pain relief, however get it seen soon enough. To ease you own mind know that the damage is done the moment of impact and any delay now is unlikely to cause significant complications extra.

    Swiftcare will only see you if you are a VHI member now and don't think they do dental?

    If you can mange tonight with Calpol, Smiles in Dundrum are open tomorrow (some other branches maybe too)

    Biting a few cloves and setting them bear the area will take the edge of a little

    This will do nothing, it works only for one specific type of toothache. This is a dental trauma and clove oil will do nothing and biting down on something can make it worse.

    Appreciate the effort, know your trying to help.
