See your dentist: If you have no cavities or damaged teeth that need to be fixed, you might be able to use a toothpaste for sensitive teeth like sensadyne.

See a Dentist ASAP: Temporarily use something like tylenol (acetaminophen). Any anti-inflammatory medication can help. Aleve, motrin, advil and even a holistic alternative arnica. Ice to minimize swelling can also be helpful. That is only managing the pain... I agree with the other doctors. Please see a dentist to help you resolve the issue which is causing you pain. Make an appointment asap please.

Nerve Ending?: Most dental pain is related to cavities? If you have been seen by a dentist and you don't have a cavity in a tooth that hurts, there are a variety of conditions that must be considered. Referred pain from another tooth, or head and neck muscle, atypical odontalgia for example. See an orofacial-TMJ specialist to manage a problem like this.
