See a dentist: the pain if from your tooth is from an infection probably because of bacteria in or near the nerve of the tooth and the swelling from the acid from the bacteria is irritating the nerve inside the tooth When you have swelling it causes pressure on the nerve and blood vessels See a dentist before it becomes a real problem

See a dentist ASAP: Any other treatment is a temporary relief. A tooth pain won't go away without treatment and the infection may spread to your jaw, cheeks, sinus and to other areas of your head and neck. You can use NSAID OTC or Tylenol (acetaminophen) for pain control. See your dentist ASAP.

Severe tooth pain: Call a local dentist and get an appointment asap. Take some Aleve or Advil unless allergic or contraindicated in the meantime. Only a dentist can treat the tooth and relieve you of the pain.
