Ice & Ibuprofen: Get ice on it right now - 10 minutes on / 10 off for a few hours. Take ibuprofen (400 mg) 3 - 4 times /day for the next 1-2 days. All to keep the swelling down. See your Dentist tomorrow to check the tooth clinically and with an x-ray image to be sure it is OK - at least for right now. Crushed ice in a baggie or frozen peas work well. Expect to be swollen and possibly bruised. Good Luck.
