Late night Dentist advise for severe pain!?

Question

I had a tooth ache come on yesterday and since then it is getting worse and worse and is pulsating. I have an appointment tomorrow morning but I dont know how I will make it through the night. I have taken some Tylenol w/ Codine 3 and it is not helping much. Any advise? Please! Major pain here!

Answer 1

FYI,

Tylenol 3 doesn't work for all pain. You're better off with 3-4 Advil every 4-6 hours untill the dentist is seen.

Codeine which is the ingredient in T3 to relieve pain is NOT an anti-inflammatory like Advil.

So what?

Inflammation is  responsible for much of the pain.

Answer 2

If the pain is that bad you should go to the emergency room. They can give you something to take the pain away until you can get to a dentist.

Answer 3

rub some clove oil on the tooth and surronding gum. should make it a bit better.

Answer 4

Put your head upside down, problem is when you put it back up the pain comes right back!!!
