Get to a dentist: Cold may help relieve some of the acute symptoms but you really need a dental evaluation and treatment plan ASAP to address the root cause of your symptoms.

See a dentist: If the the nerve (pulp) of the tooth has become irritated, this can cause pain in your tooth, ear and TMJ. See a dentist for diagnosis and treatment because, if left untreated, your condition can worsen.
