Waited too long: You require specific Dental Treatment to resolve your issue. Pills/poltices/salves won't do it. ER can't help unless they have a Dentist on duty, and the ER visit will probably not be covered under your Medical Insurance as it is a Dental issue. Use cold compresses and OTC pain killers (Follow pkg directions to the letter, don't overdose. Then see Dentist 1st thing tomorrow. Next time don't wait.
