See dentist: Unfortunately there is not much you can do on your own except suffer. I would suggest seeing a dentist before your condition gets worse and you need to go to the hospital to prevent the stoppage of breathing or a systemic infection.

Get to a dentist: You can take advil (ibuprofen) or alleve to help until your dentist sees you. But don't delay.. Serious problems like infection spread, tooth loss and medical complications will result. In the middle ages, before modern dentistry , people died from dental abscesses all the time. In our day and age, dentists can help you!
