Reply:You do need to see a dentist but until you go to the appointment you could use clove oil or real vanilla extract. Apply it directly to the tooth. You can get clove oil at the older pharmacies. Generally you can buy real vanilla extract at the local grocery stores. Hope this helps and good luck with the dentist.
