Yes, but to avoid waiting for a long time in the ER you can find an oral surgeon and schedule an appointment with him/her or a walk in if they are welcomed. Oral Surgeon would be your best bet though in my opinion good luck. :) And feel better soon!

Molars touch cusp to cusp?
Molars have projections that come off of them called cusps. The projections that are closer to the cheek on a top molar should contact no tooth structure, while the inside cusps should go between the cusps of the bottom tooth to rest in this pocket. The bottom tooth's cusps are just the opposite: the inside cusp touches no tooth structure while the cusps closer to the cheek go in between the cusps of the top tooth. When molars touch cusp to cusp, this causes strain on the mouth, along with the TMJ. This can lead to more severe problems in the future.
Is a tea bag good for a tooth abscess?
Yes, place a small tea bag in a cup of water just coving the tea bag. Then you will want to squeeze any access water from the tea bag. You want the bag to warm not hot. Place the tea bag between the aching tooth/gum and your cheek. Leave it in for about 15 minutes. It should help the pain subside. You can try this again if the pain should come back. This should help some until you can get to a dentist. Also, taking some ice and placing in the a cloth and placing it on the outside of the swollen cheek will help with the swelling. Don't place heat such as a heating pad on swollen cheek, as this will make the swelling worse. (I know from experience). I hope this helps. ~ Brian
