See a dentist: Sounds like you have a sever infection and you figured out a way to drain the abscess. Now you need to see a dentist to figure out the source of infection in your mouth. You also need to take antibiotics. So do not delay and see a dentist immediately.

See your dentist!: This sounds like an infection. Like a splinter in your finger, dental pain exists because there is a problem. Would you take pain medication and antibiotics to manage the splinter? Not likely: you would take it out! see your dentist. Solve the problem.
