But man, that wait can feel like forever when your tooth’s throbbing at 3am.

Can totally relate to this. I had braces put in last year and ended up with a crazy toothache one night—like, couldn’t sleep, couldn’t think straight. I was tempted to hit the ER, but honestly, all they would’ve done is give me Tylenol and tell me to see my dentist. Unless your face is swelling up or you can’t swallow, I really think it’s better to tough it out and get proper dental care. Painkillers just mask the problem, they don’t fix anything.
