It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!

Cincy, here are a couple of home remedies that you can try to help relieve some of your pain until you can see your dentist:
Dissolve enough salt in warm water (body temperature) to make a strong solution and rinse your mouth repeatedly, vigorously swishing the salty water around your mouth (if the pain allows) or just allowing the brine to work in your mouth (it will make you salivate). The dental pain, especially when extremely severe, may instantly subside or perhaps take a while before it goes away, but it will (it certainly has done so for me every time I have used it, the longest it took for acute pain to stop was about two minutes. I have also seen a few others reporting near-instantaneous dental pain relief achieved in identical fashion). Repeat application of the salt rinse - even over several days in case the pain reoccurs or doesn’t fully go away - may be required. One may also lodge some salt crystals directly against the tooth or gum area that hurts.
Another old method that works for most people is to put some clove oil on the aching tooth and gum.
There are other proven remedies to alleviate the pain and one method will not work for all, so try one or the other of these and hope they work.
