I have a broken molar have been using aspirin and ibuprofen for pain. my dentist appointment isn't until the 20th. the pain wakes me from sleep. my whole head hurts and it's making me feel sick. is there anything a regular doctor can do? while i wait?

Your reg MD can only give you stronger pain medicine.If you are in an area where there is a Dental school you can go to their ER or calling other dentists or dental clinics many will take an urgent case. Good luck I hope you feel better.

I think this constitutes an emergency and your dentist should try to see you sooner than later.

If your Dentist isn unable to accommodate you for an emergency appointment, ask for referral to an Endodontist who can provide youwith immediate pain relief. And no, Physicians are not trained to provide Dental Treatment,
