How can I keep my broken tooth covered overnight?

My wisom tooth is broken and the nerve is exposed. I've been in severe pain all week waiting to get to the oral surgeon tomorrow. Covering it with gum is the only relief I can get. What can I use overnight to keep it covered so I can actually get some sleep tonight?

    Just take some painkillers. You can use some cotton wool to clean off the stains. Go to the dentist for an appointment as soon as possible.

    It's too bad that you don't have any pure phenol they sell it on eBay 99% pure liquid. If you were to wet a q-tip and put that right on the nerve it will actually kill the nerve.

    You can give yourself a chemical root canal with a q-tip dipped in this stuff but bear in mind that phenol will burn you or kill you if you splash it on your body. Handle this stuff with the utmost of care.

    Dip the q-tip in the phenol and touch it to the nerve hold it there for 60 seconds then immediately wash your mouth out with alcohol-based mouthwash and then wash your mouth out again with plain water.

    That will cure your problem.

    Nothing, really. Just take about 600 mg of ibuprofen.

    If the gum works for you, use it.
