Maybe: Most common thing where I am is antibiotic and pain med even if you don't need the antibiotic. They often really have no idea what to do for you because it is not in their training. Call your dentist or another one if you can.

Possibly: Some er's have an dentist or oral surgeon on call. Typically if not, they will give you a short term fix which includes antibiotics to take care of any infection and swelling, pain medication, and possibly numbing up the tooth (for 2-3 hours) that is causing the pain. If you dont get rid of the source of the infection the pain/ and or swelling will continue or return.
