I'm : I'm not trying to be smart but the best home remedy is your telephone. Take an otc pain med and call for an emergency appointment now!

1) : 1) you can start by taking some otc pain medication. Whatever you take for a headache or backache should be fine. 2) see if your pharmacy carries a temporary dental filling clay. It will contain eugenol (oil of cloves) that will help calm the tooth down. 3) call and make an appointment with your dentist before your pain becomes an all out emergency.

Sorry : Sorry to hear about your pain, but unfortunately, there is not much you can do at home except taking some motrin. Please call your dentist right away.

Ibuprofen : If you have Ibuprofen 200 mg, you can take 2, 3 or 4 tablets together with food every six hours to alleviate the pain until you see your dentist.
