For now you can take a painkiller. But a dental checkup is required as soon as possible to make a diagnosis and a proper treatment plan. As avoidance will only worsen the condition.

Hello Sir
Greetings of the day. You need to visit a dentist as soon as possible since the pain might be due to a decayed tooth which needs a RCT. Since your traveling painkillers can be taken to subside the pain temporarily but no other medication without proper diagnosis and prescription.

hello, you can do warm salt water rinses as a home remedy. this will give you temporary relief from pain. you need to visit the dentist and get
it checked. get an x-ray done. if there is a cavity, get it filled. if there is infection to the root of the tooth, you need to get it treated. then get a crown placed over it.

Toothache commonly is experienced at locations other than the the point of origin. This is known as referred or sympathetic pain. Contact a dental surgeon at the earliest. Over the counter painkillers can be taken in the meanwhile. Do not take any other medication, especially antibiotics without consulting a qualified doctor.
