Tell your dentist: I recommend telling the dentist who treated you- they may recommend using tylenol (acetaminophen) or nsaids. Severe, ongoing pain may indicate an infection.

See your dentist: "severe" pain sounds like you're having pain throughout the day and possibly even having trouble sleeping/eating...If this is the case see your dentist asap.
