Answer 1

Answer 2

Ibuprofen has always worked best for tooth pain for me, but you don't want to take too much, too often. How long before you have insurance? A lot of dentists will make payment arrangements with you, if you have a means to pay. Are you working at all? Could your parents or family help you? Sorry, I know how miserable tooth pain can be.

Answer 3

Take the prescribed dose of extra-strength Tylenol + 1 more tablet. Use an ice pack several x a day -- use a pkg of frozen food with a towel if you don't have an ice pack.

Don't go to the ER -- its too darn expensive & 3 tabs of Tylenol is prescription dosage.

I'd look for a new dentist if I were you. He should have given you a prescription for pain meds regardless of how good the tooth looks. At least the area wasn't infected.

Answer 4

okay take 800mg of ibuprofen and then like 1 hour later take a dose of tylenol. that should kill your pain. i had severe tooth pain last month caused by a decayed wisdom tooth. i took this every 4 hours for the pain cuz i dont like taking lortabs or anything like that. it should work if you havent got a tolerence to those pain meds.

Answer 5

No it isnt normal and perhap you should go to the ER and they will give you some pain releif and check to see if you have an infection.

Answer 6

take some tylenol or ibuprofen, and use an ice pack for a few minutes several times a day until you can call your dentist on monday.
