You know: You know what to do. You need to see a Dentist ASAP. No pill, potion, or snake oil is going to help. Get to a Dentist as soon as you can. The longer you wait, the more the infection will spread. OTC pain killers may help take the edge off, but that's about all they will do. Follow package directions exactly.
