Hello,
Thanks for the query.
your teeth pain is due to gum infection.poor oral hygiene aggravates this condition.
Its nice that you are using pain killers and mouth washes.you can also do frequent warm saline rinses till you visit your dentist.
In this case through examination along with professional cleaning of gums is must.careful examination might also lead to know if there is deep pockets in your gums and if there is any bone loss too.
Also get an x ray done.you can start antibiotics upon consultation.
You can ask me a direct query on this forum following the below link.
