Acute toothache

I have been suffering from this gum pain since sunday. the pain was unilateral, right sided, comes and goes. it radiates from the gum near the molar teeth, spread along the muscles of mastication to the temporo-mandibular joint. the aggravating factor might be opening and closing my mouth as i am using my facial mucles. the pain was suddenly very intense on tue evening. i tried to take 600mgm of paracetemol at 7pm to relieve the pain but it didnt work. then, i looked into the mirror, there were no ulcers or redness on the buccal mucosa. it's unlikely to be an oral infection. after discussing it with my friend, according to his expereince, it was likely to be an eruption of my wisdom tooth that causes all the pain. however, i checked on line, the normal age for wisdom tooth to grows would be age18-20. I am too old to have one now.
finally i decided to consult my uncle about it. we both came to a conclusion it was most probably due to the eruption of my wisdom tooth as i havent had one yet. the only advice he could give is to take some pain killer to relieve it and try to see a doctor tomorrow. that night, i took 1200mg of paracetemol and it worked. (the max dose is 2000mg in 24hr)
the next day, i went to see a GP. my first time seeing doctor in foreign country. she was kind and she tried to checked whether was there any abscess. obviously, she couldnt find anything and she asked me to see a dentist. The major difference in seeing a doctor and seeing a dentist is seeing the doctor is free of charge and seeing the dentist is costing money. that was why i didnt go see dentist in the first place and hoping that the doctor would offer some help.
unfortunately, i have to see the dentist. i went to the dental clinic on the same day to make an appoitment. i was told that they charge £30 for an emergency appoitment since i had an acute pain last night. i nearly faint after hearing that figure, as it means it will cost me rm200 just to get an appoitment. the earliest normal check-up appoiment, with no extra charge would be somewhere in end of june. i got no choice but to make an appointment that time on fri morning.
i was still having the pain sometimes in these two days but it was mild. as a result, i went to cancel my appointment. just so happened that they have a slot for normal check up appointment next fri noon. so, i decided to change my appointment to next fri, as the consultation fees for normal check-up vary from £12-£39 depending on what the dentist will do.
i do hope that there would not be other complications or dental problems that cause the pain. i shall wait until i see the dentist...
