Be brave and call the dentist.\n\nIn the meantime take Advil to help with pain and inflammation.

Motrin is generically Ibuprofen...right? so are u allergic to Ibuprofen? if that's the case...then you cant take any Ibuprofen medicine...instead try to take acetaminophen...like Tylenol....i hope i helped u in a way. Besides, oxycodone is the one prescribed by your dentist, take it he will not give that medicine if it will damage ur health.

You may have an impacted wisdom tooth. If you're in your late teens, I'm guessing that's what it is...\nYou're going to have to see your dentist. The only way he'll be able to tell what the problem is is by taking some xrays and checking things out. In the meantime, take what you would take for a headache (ibuprofen, tylenol, etc). You can do ice, that may help. But, you really need to have it looked at.

Dear Lillypetal,\nhi.. im a Dentist. the clenching U say u got is called Bruxism. did U get a filling done recently? it maybe cos a little extra filling material was put into the cavity(called a high point) its like a bump n u may subconsciously be trying to get your teeth to close well but aren able to.\nthis may sound stupid.. but when was the last time U went in for De worming medication....? u may require a course. ask your pharmacist. (ALBENDAZOLE)\nsomeone else suggested U get a guard that sports people use( such as football players or even boxers) u might want to try that.\ndo U have wax in your ears? if so then u need a clean up. use a wax dissolving liquid(ask for something with Paradichlorobenzene and benzocaine in it)\nif u got loads of problems on your mind n like U say u reallly need the sleep U could take 0.25mg of Alprazolam..its an anti anxiety drug. please don take on regular basis!\nYour cheek muscles(especially just below your ear) could hurt real bad when U wake up. try soaking a towel in warm water n applying in it.steamin could help too.\ntry chewing on some bubblegum.\nif facial muscle soreness is a problem U could have muscle spasm. in that case take an anti spasmodic(something U use for menstrual cramps show do just fine). donot take it if Ur facial muscles don feel sore.\ntry sucking on a lozenge.\nlastly this show help in some way or the other- follow religiously before U go to bed...brush teeth really wellusing the least amount of force U can(NOT TOO HARD!!). floss gently. see that teeth are squeaky clean.\nuse a good mouthwash(preferably something with CHLOREXHIDINE and ZINC) if not available. thorough warm salt water gargles should help.\ni have never seen U so i need U to make a decision as to what exactly is your problem.. thats why the long list of possible solutions.!\ntake care n really hope U get some sleep tonight.\nsweet dreams!

Antibiotic and painkillers.  Most dentists will prescribe a stronger pain med than is available over the counter.  Ibuprofen works great for relieving the throbbing feeling.  Ask your dentist about Vicoprofen.  I found this medicine to be the most effective.  It didn't make me as drowsy as regular Vicodin does.

Talk to your doctor and to your dentist and see what they have to say. I would probably say it's okay (except for the painkillers, possible), but to be on the safe side, TALK TO YOUR DENTIST AND YOUR DOCTOR!

Oh man you need to get them out ASAP.  Seriously, its only going to get worse.  I remember one time the whole side of my face was swollen, I couldn't eat, talk, I could barely even swallow.  Go to the dentist as soon as you can, it'd be the best bet.  So yeah, the pain is normal, and it sucks.  Good luck!

Be honest ask for other options.  Be willing to try a multi facited approach to pain.  Meds are only part of the long term solution.  A second opinion might be uselful

you have made me remember a friend from 20 years ago who drove us crazy comp;aining about this condition i regret not being more understanding of the terrible pain she was experiencing at the time believe me the only thing that helped this dear friend was valium. if worse comes to worse try it because i personally witnessed a complete reversal of her condition when she started to take it,perhaps it works as a dental muscle relaxor or something like that i know the dentist here uses the valium for a lot of procedures anyway be well.

sounds like you have a fungal infection called thrush. you can use a product called gly-oxide. it's an anti-septic mouth rinse. it will sting, but you have to swish it around for at least 30-45 seconds. then you can spray chloraseptic in your mouth and swish that around...it will really help to numb the pain. you could possibly have a virus too...if that's the case, it just has to run it's course...usually 7-10 days for canker sores. if you're not getting any better after 5 days or so, or start to run a fever, go to the doctor...they might have to swab your mouth for a culture to find out what you have, and determine if you need antibiotics.

Good heavens! get another dentist! The one you have enjoys your pain far too much. the tooth is abscessing...you should be on antibiotics NOW. and an infected, abscessed tooth should NOT be messed with until the infection is done away with!

I would get on that waiting list and in the mean time get something to dull the pain, there are all sorts of toothache medicines.  Don't' try to do it yourself, beside the obvious horrible pain that would be involved you could also end up with an infection and that may be worse than what you are going threw now.  Good luck to you.

There are numbing products available over the counter.  ie Ora Gel, etc.  Ask your pharmacist, which is best.\n\nAlso, be sure to take Motrin.  It is the most effective pain killer for bone/teeth pain, that is available over the counter.  The idea about eating ice sounds good, too!  It will help soothe the inflammation.\n\nYou do need to get in touch with your dentist.  Maybe, he could call you in a prescription, that will do you...until you can get to his office.\n\nI really am sorry, that you are in pain.  I would definitely, get the numbing products and take the Motrin...at the same time.  It should, at least, take the edge off.

Go to a pain clinic. They specialize in these problems. You are taking too much medicine and your tolerance to it is building up so that you will need more and more.
