Tooth pain can be horrible. It is also dangerous if there is an infection. Usually if a tooth is hurting, the nerve is dying or there could be an exposed nerve from a broken tooth. Get to the Dentist quickly. And don't put aspirins on the tooth. If it is swelling and pressure sensitive, do not put heat on it. Ice would be more comfortable. If a tooth has been chipped, you can chew a piece of gum and then put it over the tooth until you get to the Dentist. That will help it from getting anything cold on it. (air or a drink). If it gets so bad you are swelling and feverish, and can't find a Dentist, go to the hospital emergency. They can give you antibiotics and pain pills to take until you can get to a Dentist. Hope this advice helped. Blossom25 EDDA
