If you have pain while sleeping, you have a grade 3 pulpitis and that is irreversible. Meaning that you need a root canal treatment. there is no way to avoid it, no matter how many painkillers you gona take, it aint gona help you. Go to a dentist asap and get it checked. If you delay, infection could set in and you will get an abcess and unbearable pain at 12 midnight and then where will you run, so go now and get it seen to
Take care

Toothaches are painful but can be prevented
by take suitable precautions. Avoid eating
food which will result in the formation of acid
in the mouth, brush teeth regularly with a fluoride
toothpaste. I found the information at

go to a dentist is my advise pain relive is only a temp, if u cant find a dentist ring nhs direct and find out where you nearest emergency dentist is.
clove oil is good, but only take what u would normal take for a headache or ask a pharmacy. i used parmol painkillers which is the strongest u can buy over the counter but u cant drink on them.

there is a gel you can buy in your local pharmacy called BONJELA, rub it on the tooth or gum area. it acts like a local anesthetic. i found it very good, especially good if u wake up in the middle of the night in pain. if you cant get BONJELA, ask your pharmacist to recommend something. one other thing, get to a dentist ASAP! the pain will drive you nuts.

the combination of Advil and Tylenol would work better because one is for pain and one is for swelling. If you get them often then you should go and get some clove oil or maximum strength oragel

You need to have your tooth checked out by a doctor or dentist. What else?
