Keep your: mouth clean. Take ibuprofen for the pain. See your dentist today.

Pain: Sorry you're in pain. OTC NSAIDs, best is Advil/Ibuprofen/Motrin, taken EXACTLY as per package directions, may help take the edge off. Cold compresses may also help. But don't expect a DIY cure. You will have to see a Dentist ASAP for care.
