See a dentist ASAP: A tooth pain won't go away without treatment. Your pain may be a dental abscess. It is a collection of pus that forms in your teeth or gums as a result of a bacterial infection. The dentist will treat a tooth abscess by draining it and getting rid of the infection. For the pain control and inflammation take OTC NSAIDs or Tylenol (acetaminophen) .See a dentist ASAP.

Depends on cause: Infection or vital nerve? If you are infected, you'll need antibiotics. If not infected, you can take OTC pain meds for a very short period of time. Please call a dentist ASAP for an appointment. The problem will not go away without treatment.
