I'm really sorry to hear about what's gone on. I would advise you to start taking regular paracetamol and ibuprofen alongside salt water mouth rinses twice a day and use of Corsodyl antiseptic mouthwash which you can buy from any pharmacy twice a day as well. This will certainly help and should tide you over until you can get in to see your dentist. I really hope that helps and that you feel better soon.
