All that they can do is provide temporary relief for the pain through painkillers and antibiotics. You need to see your dentist to fix your oral health issue.
What is the most common dental emergency?

What is considered a dental emergency?
Any dental issue that needs immediate attention to stop bleeding, alleviate pain, or save the tooth is considered a dental emergency. If you’re in a dental emergency, contact our Tustin Smiles office right away.
What should I do if I have a dental emergency and can’t get a hold of my dentist?
If there is toothache, take pain medications to get rid of the pain. If there is inflammation, you can rinse your mouth with salt water to reduce inflammation, but saltwater cannot ease the pain. You can also place a cold compress on the cheeks of the swelled region to bring down the swelling. If there is non-stop bleeding, apply pressure on the area by biting down on the gauze or clean cloth.
What if a tooth gets knocked out in an accident?
When the tooth gets knocked out in an accident, you first need to find the knocked out tooth and put it in milk or saline solution to clean it. You can put the tooth back in its socket then see your dentist to secure the tooth. This should occur within one hour after the injury. If that’s not possible, put it in a cup with milk or saline to keep it moist. Do not put the tooth in water as it can damage the delicate cells. You can use your mouth to keep the tooth moist if saline or milk is not available.
