Have you got any strong tabs other than panadol , if not 2 of those will have to do til you can get to see the dentist . Oil of cloves onto the tooth can ease it a bit btw .. All the best , and try to avoid banging your head against the wall eh . x

Without wanting to contradict previous responses....
1) Please don't dissolve any 'over-the counter' analgesic eg Paracetamol/Aspirin/Ibuprofen on the gum next to source of pain as you are liable to receive a chemical burn of the mucosa (soft tissue). This practice would not normally be recommended by dentists or doctors.
2) Sensodyne toothpaste does not contain a local anaesthetic.
Most specific dental pain is caused by inflammation, and as mentioned in an earlier post, you are better off taking either Aspirin/Ibuprofen as directed on the packet (unless you have any medical condition for which this would be contra-indicated). I hope that you are able to see a dentist as soon as possible so that the cause of the problem can be identified and dealt with.
