Ok, the thing is I have 2teeth that need a root canal or need to be removed, and I can't handle the pain I'm in right now. I've been taking antibiotics for a couple of days, and declined the Vicodin because I didn't think it would hurt so bad, but, it does! and I'm out of Tylonal Extra strength, I've taken 24 of them in the last 3days... It's becoming unbearable... can anyone help me? Can't talk to the dentist cuz it's Sunday. HELP!

You are taking far too many painkillers! Im not familiar with the US insurance system but surely there must be something available if you have no insurance?

Go to the emergency room and get something no matter if you have insurance or not.There is nothing but the right meds and medical attention that will give you any relief. If you have an infection it can worsen and cause you more grief and damage then just an emergency room visit will.
This you your body and life you could be messing with instead of a few hundred bucks! HELLO!
Tylenol is not good in fact very bad to take too much or it I know someone who is dead because of taking Tylenol on a regular basis like a few times a day.
Tylenol causes liver damage! Get to the hospital or clinic bury your shame and worry about money and help yourself!
Go get up and go now! and then let me know how you made out.

When I had to wait over the Xmas holidays for my denits to return, she told me to take two extra strength tylenol and 2 advil at the same time. It reproduces the effects of a prescription pankiller.
But I don't think it would be a great idea for you, since you have been taking so much medicine...
Even if you don't have dental insurance, call around some offices tomorrow and ask for information about payment plans or clincs that will work with you to get you the care you need.

There's a company out there that helps people who do not have and need affordable dental benefits. It includes all basic things and then surgery, crowns, even orthodontics. There's no high premiums, deductibles, co-pays, waiting periods, or anything like that at all. They can save you up to 80% on your out of pocket expenses for a very small fee every month. It could end up saving you a lot of $$ over traditional insurance. Try this website and you can check out the specifics and providers in your area. http://www.everyonebenefits.com/40424269... They are a wonderful company and are members of the BBB. I have benefits through them as well. Hope you find what you need. Please email me if you have any questions, and I'd be happy to help you if I can. Best of luck.

If you're in that much pain, call your dental office today! There should be a number where you can reach your dentist so you can ask him/her for pain meds. It's ok to call your dentist on the weekends; that's what they're for.

First of all sweetheart, cool it on the drugs. Go to the pharmacy and get a tube of ambusol gel use this for now. Go to the nearest ER and they should be able to help you, they won't turn you away in pain. You'll have to make arraignments to have your teeth fixed after this.

Clove oil is the best home remedy for toothaches. Even dentists use it. I found the information at
http://aches.in/toothacheremedies.html useful.
