You probably have a cavity. Go to the dentist!

I would see a dentist right away.

If it is so bad that acetaminophen or ibuprofen don't help it could be an abscess.

That is not something you want to mess around with.

Sometimes Anbesol helps, but it is quite temporary.
Floss on either side of the painful tooth to remove any wedged food
OR
Apply an ice pack to the painful jaw for 20 minutes
Take some pain killers, ibuprofen, acetominophen, or the like. Call a dentist for an emergency appointment.
get the tooth fixed or pulled
as a temporary solution.you can use clove oil(very nasty).. if it's gum related..swish your mouth with warm salt water..your best solution is to go to the dentist.
temporary you can get rid of it using a painkilling tablet but you definitely need to see a dentist
Well the best way is to go see a dentist.But a temp answer to your problem would be to go buy some orajel,or something over the counter.Taking some tylenol, or motrin.
consult ur dentist
for a quick fix, try cayenne pepper - honestly, it works
drink some brandy but dont swallow it just keep it in your mouth on the sore bit. or use cloves oil it dont taste to good but it works
take a small glass of whisky or brandy ,and gargle round the infected tooth ,you can either swallow or spit it out ,this gets rid of the pain instantly ,then see your dentist,best of luck
a temporary relief is to go to your kitchen and get a bottle of vanilla extract or vanilla flavoring. dot a little of it on your finger and rub it on the tooth. i don't know why this helps but my mom taught it to me. it really works. just make sure you see your dentist because i am sure you don't want to lose the tooth.
Good question. i think the name of the ointment is anbesol. you can rub that directly on the problem area. other than that, a painkiller would be another option. i am not sure if over the counter painkillers (aspirin, acetominophen) are powerful enough though. the dosage is sooooo looooow. The best option is to see a dentist if you can possibly afford it nowadays.

While waiting for an appointment with the dentist, rub on the gum surrounding the tooth - Oil of Cloves - which you can get from a chemist. No health hazard, totally natural and numbs the gum.
Go to the store and get some over the counter pain medication such as orajel (spelling) and some tylenol or something. Have a spit rag ready cause some of that gel gets on your tongue and mouth and tastes yucky. You can decide whether or not to see a dentist or not, depending on your finances, severity of pain, severity of tootache, whatnot.
Go to the dentist, but for immediate pain relief;

Go to the pharmacy (chemist) shop and ask for a small bottle of pure CLOVE OIL. Using a cotton swab, daub a TINY amount of the pure oil onto the gum in the affected area. START with a small amount first - this is a volatile oil! The moment it touches your gum, you will feel a stinging or burning sensation but within seconds the nerves will be numbed.

Clove oil lasts far longer than over-the-counter toothache gels or creams.

Good luck!
You can use OTC medications until you set up an appointment with your dentist as you don't know the cause of the pain could be many causes abcess, or cavity, if abcess you want to get immediate care as if that abcess pops and pus comes out it can poison your system and make you have two problems of being sick on top of acheing
mmmmm maybe get it pulled
Motrin or ibuprofen. Tylenol will NOT work.and go to the dentist.it's probably abscessed.
