For what?: What's your problem? If it's pain/swelling from an abscessed/infected tooth, there's really not a whole lot you can do short of expediting your trip to the dentist. Cold compresses and 0tc analgesics (taken exactly according to package directions may take the edge off, but only a dentist can cure your problem.
