My filling has stopped working again. I'm not totally sure why or what happened but might be bruxism. The important part is that there's a big sensitive hole in the side of my tooth that makes it hard to eat, drink, or brush my teeth.

I have an appointment to fix it scheduled next week. In the meantime, does anyone have tips for brushing my teeth without wanting to cry? I guess I could use only mouthwash for a bit but I want to know if this is a good idea.

I need to brush my teeth pretty often for a few days bc I'm using dental wax during meals to eat a bit more comfortably (still chewing on only one side but drinking like that is hard).

I don't smoke. I rarely drink. Picture of tooth attached.
