Yes, you should visit the dentist if pain persists until the next day.

Absolutely. Pain in a tooth most frequently caused by infection, second most frequently by fracture. Pain meds don't cure either of those problems, just dull the pain as the infection spreads to other organ systems. Please be proactive; call your Dentist now.
