Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Welcome to HCM.
Thank you for the query.

You can go for Over the counter medication like Ibuprofen 600mg (an NSAID) twice daily until you get an appointment with your dentist.
Use soft tooth brush and Sensodyne tooth paste. Try not to use affected tooth for biting/ chewing food. Use semi solid food for now.

Hope this helps.

Take care, Bye.
