Feels like i have a tooth abscess, is tomorrow soon enough to see the dentist?

See your dentist: Yes see your dentist as soon as possible. In the meantime use a little salt and water to try and get the abscess to drain. Dont delay seeing the dentist as you dont want drainige thru your body of the infection and bacteria.
