It often times depends which tooth is hurting. The roots of your upper teeth come in close contact with your sinuses so alot of people experience pain when they have bad colds. Relieve your sinus pressure and your teeth should stop hurting. If there is any swelling in the area an antibiotic is a must. Relieve the swelling and pressure being applied to the nerve and the pain will subside. If the tooth broke or a filling came out you could apply dental wax, found at any supermarket, to help seal the area until you can see a dentist. However...DO NOT...I repeat DO NOT crush an aspirin and apply to the area. Aspirin is very acidic, hence the reason people get ulcers and stomach problems from taking to much. I have seen patients come in to the office with large portions of their gums and inner cheeks that have been eaten away from using Aspirin as a fix. Between hot or cold...definately go with cold. Applied against your cheek, like previously posted, 20 minutes on and off. Good luck.

Ice

Depends on whether or not it has infection. If it has infection ice is the best, if it doesn't then heat is the best. If it is infected it will be all red and swollen around the tooth.

Forget heat or ice, take about 3 Aleve tablets, and you should feel better in no time. Seriously, painkillers are the way to go.

Ice - it restricts the blood flow. You can also crush an aspirin, add a little water to make a paste and put in on the affected area.

whatever you do, don't put the ice directly ON the tooth. First try flossing, then brushing. Clove oil helps. See your dentist as soon as possible.

i wouldn't suggest either extreme since the nerves in teeth tend to be really sensitive to both. Try to find some numbing agent like Anbesol to ease the pain, and if the pain is from a cavity please go see a dentist
