Go to ER: Try reaching out to a different dentist or go to the er. You could have a dental infection and it could spread very quickly.

Home remedies: You can try oil of clove or ice if it helps. Advil (ibuprofen) works. Beyond that you must get to a dentist or the er. You may have a dental infection. Some dental infections can be life threatening.

Temporary Pain Relie: Till you are able to go to your dentist, you can take 2x500mg tylenol (acetaminophen) and 3x200mg Motrin or ibuprofen. This combination has a great affect on tooth pain. I have prescribed this combination to my patients who have had severe tooth ache, and they are often surprised as to how well it works.
