try the phone book under dental/dentist. Look for after hours or emergency services. They charge more. But for the next 10 hours, try tylenol 1000mg every 6 hours, if your liver is working well. If that does not tie you over, can take motrin 800 mg every 8 hours if your kidney is fine. ... until dentists open the doors in the morning. Or if you know your medical doctor really well, call him or her for some vicodin.
Do not go to medical ER for tooth pain. They will give you pain meds, may be antibiotics and send you to the dentist. And the huge bill. Plus, you are really clogging up the ER from really sick patients.

Some large cities have dentist clinics that are open all night, you can check your phone directory for that or search the "local" on Yahoo! If there are no dentists available you should go to the ER. Best of luck, I know how painful toothaches can be.

I feel for you. I had that problem one time for a weekend. I kept rinsing my mouth with warm salt water and take a couple of aspirin until you can get to a dentist. If it is that bad go the the er. Sounds like you have an abscess

I am sorry you are having problems, but dentist are bad about leaving you hanging esp. over the weekend. They should have a answering service you can call. I have suffered like that before. I really feel sorry for you and know where you're coming from.

not a lot of options and ERs don't have dentists. take some pain medicine and try to sleep it off...
usually there are emergency dental clinics open on saturdays.
hope you feel better!

Go to the er. At least they'll give you an antibiotic and some pain pills.
