What kind of pain exactly? From a broken tooth? Or general rotten teeth? If your cat has dental pain you can't just bung painkillers at him, he needs dental work from a vet!
If you already planning to take him to a vet and are looking for something to help in the meantime, as I said feline painkillers are prescription only. You can try any stuff you might find in a pet shop - it's all general sales stuff so should be harmless anyway (although petshop flea treatment isn't actually).
Even the human 'toothache kits' you can buy specifically say they are only temporary measures until you can get medical attention.

I have been a Veterinary Technician for many years. Buprenex is safe, and can cause mild sedation, so this explains why your cat is sleepy. 6 days worth should be enough for your cat, I have seen cats who have been on this medication for 3 days and had the same amount of teeth extracted. Just make sure that your cat is currently eating soft food, and nothing hard or crunchy is being given. This can cause discomfort. You can even add water to your cats regular dry food, until it gets to be a soft consistency, mash it up and then give it to him/her. Your Veterinarian probably gave you instructions for soft food to be given for at least 2 weeks. Remember , though, your cat may drink a little less because you are adding water to the food. If your cat still seems sleepy a day or two after the last dose of Buprenex is given, take your cat back to the vet to make sure everything is alright. Hope this helps!

That is one of the best and safest medications for pain - and it's good that your vet gave it to your cat after that dental. It's commonly given for 3 or more days post-extractions, depending on how many of them there are. Cats vary in reaction to it - it makes some very sleepy, and some it doesn't seem to make sleepy at all.

Your cat has tooth pain because of oral infection or injury, and giving him something to sooth it will only allow you to ignore the problem further. Have your cat's teeth cleaned.
Do NOT give your cat Tylenol, or any pain medication labeled for humans. It is toxic to felines and canines.

if he likes garlic, give him some. Garlic oil is one of the best remedies for tooth pain.
You should also know that tooth pain in a cat may be a sign of dental disease, which left untreated can lead to death. I'd recommend you to take it to a vet as soon as you can for a teeth check-up.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER GIVE YOUR CAT TYLENOL!!!
It is EXTREMELY toxic to cats. It will send your cat into liver failure that it will have a very slim chance of living through!!! Ask ANY reputable vet!!
The best thing for pain relief is anything you can get from your vet. The best thing for your cat's dental health is for you to get it to a vet and have a dental cleaning done.
