No. You have to come to the dentist to see if the nerve is touch and to stop the pain.

Hi,
Unfortunately tooth pain almost never goes away by simply taking a medication. Unlike a bruise on your leg or a cut on a finger, a tooth pain is caused by an issue that has to be eliminated by a health professional. Medication only temporarily solves the issue.
To be sure that the pain goes away and the problem doesn't amplify, take an appointment with a dentist as soon as possible so that they can identify the source of the problem and solve it.
Meanwhile, you can always try a combination of Dafalgan 1g and Ibuprofen 400mg, alternating between the two every 4-6 hours. Don't go over 3 times a day for each!
