For those who don't understand, severe tooth pain is a special kind of agony that makes rational thought extremely difficult. You can't think of anything else but the pounding misery in your skull. All you can think about is stopping the pain. Suddenly, ripping your mouth open with pliers sounds like a good idea, as it seems it can't possibly be worse. It doesn't make people stupid, it makes them human.
OP, you might try cleaning your tooth carefully with a dental pick, or swishing furiously with warm salt water, or flossing, or pushing it gently in one direction to see if it stops pressing on a nerve. DO NOT go to the emergency room unless you develop some kind of systemic infection or other life-threatening complication- they will charge you megabucks and almost certainly not pull it. DO NOT wiggle it back and forth. DO NOT pull it yourself. DO NOT put off seeking help from any and all sources you can think of. Call local churches, charities, GPs, TV news channels, The Salvation Army, dentists, rehab clinics, chiropractors- swallow your pride and humbly beg for help, and somebody somewhere will have an idea for you to try. Keep a log of who you've called so you don't ask them twice.
And then, thank whoever helps you profusely and plan for the future so you don't find yourself in this situation again.
