See a dentist ASAP: See a dentist asap for proper treatment. You may need root canal or removal of the tooth with drainage of the abscess.

By now...: , you should have already called a dentist in your area for an appointment. The er visit was to take care of your immediate problem, which was the infection. The visit did not fix the tooth. Until you are seen by a dentist things will only get worse. Please call immediately.
