Emergency Appt: You'll need to call a local dentist for an emergency appointment ASAP. Try OTC pain meds to help take the edge off until you can be seen. Other than that, there is not much else you can do at home. Feel better soon.

Specializes in Pain Management

The Simple Solution: The 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 Tylenol (acetaminophen) or NSAIDs for pain control. See a dentist ASAP for assessment and treatment. Do not delay.
