“What can I do to stop tooth pain at home?”

There is nothing that can “stop” it at home, but there are some things to try to mask the pain. Tylenol and ibuprofen can be take for pain. You can take 600mg of Ibuprofen every 6 hours and alternate with Tylenol 2 tablets every 6 hours. So, you would take 600 mg of ibuprofen then 3 hours later take Tylenol and then 3 hours after that take the ibuprofen again. That will help mask the pain a little. You can also use over the counter products that will help numb the area. Ambesol or Oragel works okay. Those are the best options at home. If possible, try and get to a dentist just to have them evaluate you. They may be able to treat you with some medicine for now and not treat the tooth until after you get settled.

Take ibuprofen and if it persists or increases, visit your dentist.

I would not recommend waiting. You should probably see a local dentist for evaluation and X-ray and find the exact cause of pain.
Thanks.

Ibuprofen is usually the best option for tooth pain. You can alternate that with Tylenol. However, if the tooth needs a root canal, these over-the-counter medications may not work and topicals, such as anbesol, definitely will not be effective. Your best option is to visit a dentist and see if there is something that can be done palliatively until you finish your move.

OTC pain medication like tylenol, advil, aspirin will help take the edge off your pain.
