See a dentist: I would not pull the tooth unless it just falls out. You can use anbesol or oragel to numb the area until you see the dentist.

Maybe: Pain meds can help decrease the pain. I have had a few patients pull their own teeth with no problems but usually they are very loose...

Dentist: See your dentist asap. Try 1 Ibuprofen 200mg and 1 Acetaminophen 500mg mixed together every 4-6 hrs as long as no allergies or past adverse rxns. With either.
