Great that the meditation worked! I know that toothaches can really be some of the worst pain to deal with, I've had my fair share of work done on my teeth as well.
I know I've definitely meditated to try and block out the pain, with some success too :)
That's interesting that you've tried it too @daan. I've noticed that at the dentist my first instinct is often to clench up, and with meditation you have to relax and let go. It's counter-intuitive, but somehow it seems to work!
