Then I'm a jerk because I told her repeatedly to not even call it in as it isn't helpful, I don't like pain meds and I won't even pick it up.

I told her I couldn't eat at this point [because it is just like when I had cracked my tooth pretty much in half and exposed the raw nerve] and haven't slept. "Have you tried chewing on the other side of your mouth?"
Josie, I am so sorry to hear about your experience with your doctor. Have you suggested that you require emergency care and refuse to take Vicodin? Your doctor was quite unprofessional.

Given your circumstances, I don't think she's in a position to force you to take painkillers. She should be obligated to help you in a way that makes you feel comfortable -- after all, your desire for emergency care seems reasonable to me.
