Toothache: See your dentist asap to determine the cause and make a diagnosis. In the interim , if you have no contraindications, over the counter Ibuprofen is more effective for dental discomfort that tylenol (acetaminophen).

Call your dentist: In the meantime take any otc medication that you usually take for a headache. It will help in the short run, but the longer you wait the worse it can get.
