They do not offer any dental services in the ER. You would be lucky to get anything for pain, as they don't give out pain meds for something that is considered non emergent.

Wow, your mum sounds a bit harsh to me, especially making you pay......I'm not sure that she actually will make you though, getting fillings and stuff can be pretty expensive, so unless she gives you a LOT of pocket money, she'll have to pay for at least some of it herself.\n\nI don't know if you'll need the tooth pulled sweetheart, because I don't know how bad it is. If the tooth is very badly decayed (rotten) then it might not be able to be fixed I'm afraid and then it would need to be pulled out. But try not to worry too much about it, no-one except the dentist can tell if it will need to be pulled out, not even your mum!\n\nI don't know what pills your mum gave you, but if she gave you paracetamol you can take some ibuprofen as well which might help. You could also get some hot water and dissolve some salt in it, then rinse your mouth with it a few times, that's helped me when I've had toothache. I hope you feel better sweetheart, and well done for telling your mum.

Have a consult with your dentist...

you need to see a dentist, but in the mean time, take something for pain, like advil, and here's some ideas until you get there, try rinsing your mouth out with warm salt water, if there is an infection in the tooth, this will help some, do it repeatly if you have to, other things you can try is rubbing oil of clove on it, or soaking an aspirin on the bad tooth, or you can try the over counter stuff like oragel.

You can talk to either your dentist and they might recommend an oral surgeon to go to so that they can check your wisdom teeth.  Even though it isn't causing any pain they might recommend having them taking out because it causes your teeth to shift (at least thats what happened to me).

If you can't afford medical care, go to your local Planned Parenthood office right away. They don't turn anyone away and they can help you.  Get to them right away, this could be extremely serious.

Sounds like just a cold.  If it doesn't go away in a reasonable amount of time then go to the ER, they cannot refuse you treatment if you have no insurance and cannot pay.

definitely some orajel or a similar type product would help along with some Tylenol or similar item, till you can get to the dentist, but in the meantime if you have some aspirin  you can rub it right  on the area that hurts, along with trying to numb it  by  holding something cold on the outside of your mouth in that area -if cold does not help you can try warm... hope you feel better!

please go to your dentist, he'll check on it without payment because it is his duty to do it. do not take a risk relying on others experience,it might came out for her but maybe not on you. you're right that there's a possibility to have an infection. it's your health! Be safe!

Go to the ER. You could have pulled something, and it might get worse over time.

Try the clove and Oragel (or the like) and Ibuprofen together...don't play with the tooth or touch it...in a lot of areas there are emergency clinics if the pain gets too bad...but see a dentist in the a.m. even if it starts to feel better.

Good heavens! get another dentist! The one you have enjoys your pain far too much. the tooth is abscessing...you should be on antibiotics NOW. and an infected, abscessed tooth should NOT be messed with until the infection is done away with!

Of course the best way to rid yourself of tooth pain is to see your dentist. For temporary relief the best thing you can do is take 800 mg of Ibuprofen which is prescription strength. It has an anti-inflammatory in it so it will work better than Tylenol or aspirin. Salt water rinses will help if your gums are sore, but not for tooth pain. Again, please see your dentist as soon as possible, if your tooth is infected and left untreated it can spread to other areas of your body causing more problems.\n\n\nDO NOT ... I repeat DO NOT do as some people are suggesting and rub an aspirin on your gums... this could cause a burn and you could be doing much harm!

you will have to go to the doctor, go to webmd.com they have it to where you can narrow down your area of problem, but i have no idea and you know that your gonna have to go so the sooner the better cause it could be bad, and you might be better off if caught early, could cause more pain if you wait too long

It could be refereed pain.  Pain coming from either another tooth in that area or even above that area.   The mouth is very tricky when it comes to figuring out where the actual pain is coming from.  best thing to do is go to your dentist.  until then try taking some Advil (no more then 800mg every 6 hours).  You can also put ice on that side of your mouth which can help with the pain and if you have any swelling.  Put the ice on for 10 Min's, take it off for 10 and then back on for 10.  Do this for 30 Min's.  What ever you do, DONT PUT HEAT ON IT!  If you have an infection, it can get worse.  Good luck.
