Docs can you explain, is there a way to manage toothache for sometime until i can start treatment?

To a point..: Otc pain meds will "manage" a toothache for only so long. As time passes, the problem only gets worse. The sooner you go for care, the easier and less expensive your treatment will be.

Managing pain: 1. Limit the stimulus: sweets, cold, hot, pressure? 2. Otc pain medications such as advil, motrin, aleve (naproxen) or what you would normally take for a headache. 3. Don't wait to start treatment: make it a higher priority! work out time constraints, money issues, or finding another dentist?

OTC meds: OTC pain meds may or may not help much. Solution is to see DDS ASAP.
