I would go to drug store and see what they have OTC and buy some of each and give them a try as well as NSAIS.

Go to a walk in dental clinic, or a hospital ER. Google a dentist nearby or one that advertises emergencies. You can go to pharmacy for Advil or Tylenol ES for pain. You want to get the sharp edge smoothed over so you don't cut your tongue. You may need a root canal and crown, or an extraction. If you want to save your tooth seek help ASAP.

My mouth has been hurting recently, and I have never had a cavity. But I have always had sensitive teeth and have always grinded them in my sleep. My dentist has showed any concern about either though. Could either of those be causing my tooth pain?
