I really wish I had some advice for you. Do you think if you call an urgent care place they might be able to refer you to a dentist, even if it's not your own? Surely, many people have had to have dental emergencies over the weekend when their usual dentist is not available. Or maybe call the closest ER and see if they possibly can suggest a place? Or you could ask and see if an urgent care place or the ER would prescribe you something for the pain for such severe tooth pain until you can see the dentist on Monday? I know there are a couple 24 hr. pharmacies around me, though most open at 9 AM.
