    Orajel and Advil. You said you will be getting money for the dentist this week. Visit this site www.healthsavings.ourperfectcard.com I signed up on-line over 5 years ago now for all me dental needs and they have saved me thousands of $$$ over the years. From root canals, cleanings, xrays, exams...etc. All services are included in this very affordable plan. They even had my benefits active in 2 hours and was able to use it the very same day. Good luck.

    Do you have any dentist friends? What kind of pain is it? If its the type of pain that does not go away at all I suggest going to a dentist regardless of whether you have the money and then pay later.

    How old are you? It may be a wisdom tooth if you still have them in, in that case you have more time.

  • Depending on how bad it is ,take a strong aspirin or rinse with wram salt water and then apply a numbing cream like Orajel, that stuff helps!
