Cracked lower wisdom tooth?
Question
I cracked my lower wisdom tooth on a chicken bone. I have a dental appointment on 15th January and they will not bring it forward for me so I have to wait over two weeks to get it fixed. In the mean time, every time I chew and talk, my tongue scrapes against the crack jagged edge of my cracked tooth and its caused it to get really sore! Any ideas what I can do to stop cracked tooth rubbing?! Its driving me mental!

Wax. When I got braces, they gave me wax to put on them to prevent irritation in my mouth. try to find some fairly sticky moldable wax (maybe at a drugstore or if you know someone with braces or stop by an orthodontist) and you might be able to wedge it around the tooth.
You could buy those listerine gel things that stick to the roof of your mouth and pop one in every five minutes.
Or just chew some gum and wedge it over the tooth and visit dentist as soon as possible.
