Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

Pain in the tooth is due to the deep caries involving the pulp usually referred as irreversible pulpitis. I would advice you to have a radiograph done and have the root canal treatment done.

For the pain ,ibuprofen can be taken (if you are not allergic to any medicine).Antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg may be required on prescription.

Since you have no insurance visit an emergency in hospital and plan for the treatment.

Hope this was useful.
Thanks and regards.
