Go to ER: Seek emergency care... broken teeth, whole face numbness, and chest discomfort can mean a infection that is rapidly spreading. You must go NOW

See below: Two issues- chest pain - ER. Dental pain - look for emergency dental care. The ER traditionally does not do dental care on an emergency basis other than RX. Perhaps if dental residents are available, possibly more.
