Its Sunday and the dentist is closed.

I had one and the Dentist did a 'Root Canal' and gave me Anti-biotic. After 2 weeks, my face swelled up and I was in excruciating pain. I ended up having the tooth pulled and yet more anti-biotic. Next time it happened, I just had it pulled and that was that.
If the infection is allowed to continue, you could end up having to have a section of jaw bone removed to excise the infected area!
Get it seen too now!

I would call the dentist and have him call in an antibiotic. He may then decide you need to come back in. I am sorry you are in pain. Try a war compress.

Go back to the dentist on Sunday. Meanwhile take some anti inflammatory drugs like motrin. Drink warm tea to ease the pain.

take some strong painkillers to get you through today then get an emergency appointment at the dentists the morn, if you cannot get an appointment the morn with the dentists your GP should give you antibiotics. hope you get betta soon nothing worse then toothache.

I'm using animal grade tetrcycline now for 5 days it works. Buy it at a farm supply for cattle.I put it in 500mg. capsules. I buy the capsules at a dollar stote and empty out the stuff(ginko bola) and use them. I can't afford a Dentist, and my veterans healthcare does not cover a dentist.

Just rinse your mouth w/ warm salty water.
Take Tylenol for pain.
Call your Dentist 'after hours' number & leave a message
regarding your Pain.

first thing you should do is stay away from straws, softdrinks and such till the swelling goes down second you should sip on warm teas and you might want to get mouth wash ........ sometimes all it takes is a little Act or Listerine

gorgle your mouth with warm salt (pre boiled) water couple of times.
Donot eat any sweet and/or cold things.
It usually takes couple of days to heal. Have patience?
