You have to either have endodontic therapy (Root canal therapy) or a tooth extraction for a tooth with severe inflammation. Antibiotics and a narcotic pain reliever would do wonders to make it tolerable for a very short time but at the point inflammation occurs it ideally means pupal damage has occurred. Sometimes the pulp can repair itself if this was possibly caused by routine dental work recently. Although this is a somewhat rare depending on a multitude of variables. So, the answer is to see a dental professional to see what the actual problem is.

How can you tell if a tooth nerve is infected or just inflamed?
Go to the dentist! You can not run around with a infection in your tooth. If you think you have a infection in your tooth that is enough reson to go to the dentist. They know if a nerve is infected or inflamed. -------- Even if it is inflamed that means that the dental nerve is infected with bacteria, and if left untreated it can lead to gangrene and root treatment.

You might think that a tooth's nerve tissue is vitally important to a tooth's health and function, but in reality it's not. A tooth's nerve tissue plays an important role in the growth and development of the tooth, but once the tooth has erupted through the gums and has finished maturing the nerve's only function is sensory, it provides the tooth with the ability to feel hot and cold.In regards to the normal day to day functioning of our mouths, the sensory information provided by a single tooth is really quite minimal. Dentists realize that on a practical level it is pretty much academic whether a tooth has a live nerve in it or not. If a tooth's nerve tissue is present and healthy, wonderful. But if a tooth has had its nerve tissue removed during root canal treatment that's fine too, you will never miss it.
