See DDS: Go see your dentist for an evaluation. Most ER do not address dental pain other than palliative.

Symptoms: Please see your Dentist. Most ER's and Physicians are not conversant in managing Oral Cavity problems. Increased severity of symptoms indicate either an infection or an allergic response. Please call your Dentist immediately.
