And for a day or so, leave coffee alone. Instead suck on a tea bag. Just put it in the palm of your hand, soak it in warm water and pat it with your finger until the water starts turning 'tea colored'. Then put it between the cheek and gum on the side where the pain is. Within a minute or 2, the pain should be gone. Btw, tea has caffeine in it, too.
Cappy, my dentist recommended exactly that with the tea bags.....
