Tooth ache in one of my top back left teeth, think it could be a tooth abscess, what are some quick pain relief remedies?

OTC and DDS!: All the otc pain medications that you can take on your own have about equal onset of relief. Take what works best for you- advil, motrin, aleve (naproxen) or what you would normally take for a headache. However, the best and quickest relief will be obtained by seeing a dentist to determine the cause of the pain and start treatment. Thing can go downhill quickly, so don't delay!

See your dentist: There's no quick fix, because an abscess that will only spread and worsen. You can't fix this yourself. Get help from a pro...Now.

Ibuprofen, then...: Ibuprofen is very good if you can tolerate it and your are not allergic to it. However, this is not at all a substitute for seeing a dentist. Please see a dentist asap. Tooth aches can become serious abscesses if not well managed. These abscesses can lead to complications or in rarer cases, death. Please call a dentist.
