See a dentist: The answer is, of course, to seek treatment at the earliest opportunity at your dental office but there are effective analgesics like Tylenol (acetaminophen) or NSAIDs OTC that can be used to control toothache before you see a dentist.

Need professional: Toothache se have a cause, usually infection, fracture, or trauma. The cause is not self-healing, can't be fixed with a pill, and requires professional care. Call Dentist for emergency appointment. Until you see Dentist NSAIDS, taken exactly as directed on package, will help take the edge off. But please do not delay, call for help now.
