Thanks for using Health Care magic.

Read your query.

For the painful tooth you can take a ibuprofen (if you are not allergic to any medicine).

Pain in the tooth can be due to variety of reasons like the decay in the tooth which is causing severe sensitivity or it can be acute abscess relating to the decay in the tooth.

If the pain is very persistent ,please visit the emergency ,so that they can work out a plan for you since you have mentioned that there is no dental insurance.
A dentist evaluation and treatment including radiograph and root canal treatment is essential in a case like yours.

A course of antibiotics like amoxicillin thrice daily will be needed after prescription.
Do salt water gargling.

Hope this was helpful and you have a speedy recovery.

Thanks and regards.

Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM,

Read your query, as you have pain in tooth this pain can pain be due to carious tooth , decayed tooth, or due to periodontal problem dont be worried so much if you have any analgesic like Paracetamol you can take it by dispersing in water , Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day.
Consult dentist and go for its treatment as you dont have dental insurance you can go for removal of tooth .

Hope this will help you.
Wishing you good health.
