Is Exedrin the best to stop tooth pain?

A heating pad would make the pain worse.  Ice pack would be better.  I also find that ibuprofen works the best for tooth pain.

Oh I know the feeling! Use Sensodyne toothpaste daily. It really helps. You can also go have some enamal put on your teeth at the dentist but I hear that is expensive.

Even though Tylenol 3 is better than regular Tylenol, it still can't keep up with a tooth ache. For a tooth ache you need Vicoden or something equivalent. Call your dentist & see if he will call in a prescription for you. I don't think anything will help as far as over the counter pain medication. If you can pin point the exact tooth, you might try some of the numbing medications the drug stores sell.\nGood luck

i am not a dentist, but i have extremely sensitive teeth.\nwhen i use any toothpaste that isn't made for sensitive teeth, the sensitivity gets worse.\ni use crest sensitivity.\ni use very little ice in my drinks and never drink anything that is really hot. i tend to stick with cool, warm, or room temp drinks. same with foods.\nasprin or ibuprophen sometimes helps with the pain.\ni even brush my teeth in slightly warm water.\nmy dentist told me that the cause of my sensitivity is two-fold:\n1. use of mentadent toothpaste stripped the enamel off my teeth\n2. i brush too hard\n\nfrankly, i have just gotten used to the pain.\n\ni really hope you get your question answered in the way you need!! tooth pain is one of the worst! good luck

The best thing to do is take 800 mg of Ibuprofen which is prescription strength.  It has an anti-inflammatory in it so therefore it works better than Tylenol or aspirin.  I wouldn't advise any of "grandmas remedies" as they don't really work.  To totally rid yourself of the toothache, see your dentist as soon as possible.

Sorry you're in pain.  Give the Vicodin time to work.  It is extremely effective in relieving dental pain.  I can sympathize - just had 26 teeth pulled on 5/5.  Vicodin is a narcotic, and is opiate based, so be careful with how much you take.  If you're not accustomed to taking opiate based analgesics, one should do you fine for four to six hours.  It should take effect between 20 min to an hour after you take it.  Good luck.

If the tooth is abcessed, then you have 2 options.  You can either have a root canal and crown placed or you can have the tooth extracted.  Get in to see your dentist as soon as possible.  For temporary relief of pain, take 800 mg of Ibuprofen which is prescription strength.  It has an anti-inflammatory in it so it's going to work better than Tylenol or aspirin.

Usually vicoden is only prescribed for a few days after dental surgery.  Using in with Advil or motrin can help.  Advil reduces the bone inflammation which is the source of the pain.  The vicoden helps give your brain a pain-fighting boost.  I would start with a single pill and see how it makes you feel.  Addiction potential is low if used for a limited time only.  House is physically dependent on the medication, which takes a longer time.

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

An ice pack is good\nClove oil, also called eugenol is better, (the local drugstore sells it) is good too. The two together is even better.\nCloves will dull or even eliminate the pain. Clove oil is also a good disinfective. \nAlso xylocaine hydrochloride, is a good painkiller. It is sold, as a cream, in the tube at drugstores. That chemical is the one dentists use to freeze gums. You can buy it in solutions of up to at least 5%, at the pharmacy. Make sure that the cream can be placed in your mouth. (some preparations are only for external, topical use, only.) \nOrajel is a similar product with a lower % of xylocaine. It is used to numb the pain of teething infants. It Is designed to be used in the mouth, on the infant's gums.\n But definitely see a dentist, soon. Something is causing the pain in your tooth. (the most common causes are bacteria in a cavity that produce gas as a waste product. The gas can press upon the tooth's nerve pulp to cause the pain. The process of dental filling of tooth cavities kills the bacteria as part of the treatment.\n    Neglected tooth problems, including decay, can develope into gum and jaw bone infections, called abscesses that are very painful. Abscesses require major dental work to clean up. (often including surgery.) \n    Neglected abscesses, neglected for a long time, can develop into life threatening infection of the sinuses and skull bone tissue that is very close to the brain. \n    A century ago and earlier, tooth problems with abscesses were a significant cause of death.\n    I am not trying to frighten you. I write this information out of  asense of concern, for you and others. (we are all on life's train Together.)\n    Generally, sensitive teeth should be investigated too. This problem often comes with aging (although not always). Stannous fluoride applications, by a dentist, often help. (there are other treatments including the more drastic gum surgery for really serious cases). and, also,  modified tooth brushing methods. etc.\n    Incidentally, if you are afraid of the dentists office, join the club. So am I.\nA caring dentist can use laugfhing gas (nitrous oxide to relieve the pain and anxiety). Don't be shy. Tell him of your concerns. It is very common problem. It is also not a sign of cowardness.\n    I was in special forces years backand  have suffered severe injuries with fortitude and rarely morphine, but I still get nervous in a dentist's office.\n    People with severe fear of dentists can go to dentists who will do all their dental procedures under general anesthesia! It cost smore money but it is worth it if that is the only way you will tolerate dental work.\n     I do not suggest that you have any such fears. I\n am writing this information for the your use and that of other readers.\n    Also, for those people who have money problems paying for dental work, there are ways to cut the costs significantly.\n    Local dental schools have dental clinics where serious seniour students get practice doing dental work. They are almost always very good and up to date in the science and art of dentistry. Also, they can take their time to do a superb job. (they are not paying for their nurses, nor their office and equipment!). Also, they are carefully scrutinized by highly qualified and experienced instructors who keep an eye on them and their dental work. (the work is often even graded!0\n    Again please take my advice and get to a dentist as soon as you can.\n    Good luck\nDan the Answers-Man.\nBest answer points are greatfully appreciated.

If you want to stop tooth pain and put your dentist out of business forever, the remedy is very simple.  No, it's not clove oil, or lavendar tincture, or anything else.  Rather, it comes in a brown plastic bottle, costs as little as a $1.50 for 16 ounces, and has been found in nearly every household for a hundred years:\n\nHydrogen Peroxide.  Take a mouthful and hold it in ur mouth for as long as you can---particularly around the sore tooth if you can and then spit it out.  Do this a few times a day for two or three days at most and the toothache will be gone--forever.  If you continue to do it as a daily routine, you'll also notice that your gums stop receding and actually build back up, your teeth get whiter, your mouth feels fresher and you don't get any cavities anymore.  Hydrogen Peroxide laughs at bacteria and then kicks the hell out of it.  You'd hear far more about it if the established medical community could make money off of it, but they can't.  It cannot be patented and is hopelessly inexpensive to produce.  Plus, if you also use it in your ears as well as a mouth rinse/gargle, you'll rarely get sick, if ever, and will rarely have allergies if you suffer from them.  The bubbling in your mouth, ears etc. is the Hydrogen Peroxide breaking down into Oxygen--bacteria's No. 1 enemy.  If any of you have children, and they start feeling ill, put a capful in their ears--bye bye flu, cold etc.  It's powerful stuff.

Excedrin Migrane works wonders for me. I take it at the first sign of a migrane and that takes care of it.

Try the clove and Oragel (or the like) and Ibuprofen together...don't play with the tooth or touch it...in a lot of areas there are emergency clinics if the pain gets too bad...but see a dentist in the a.m. even if it starts to feel better.

It's normal to be sore for a while after having a tooth removed.  Try taking 800 mg of Ibuprofen which is prescription strength.  It has an anti-inflammatory in it which works better than Tylenol or aspirin.  If it is still bothering you after a couple of weeks see your dentist again.

ew...first, maintain proper oral hygiene...use some mouthwash to keep germs etc away from the site.  Also, they make non prescription pain medication for them..i think Ambisol (sp) is one of them, give it a shot.

The best way to get toothache relief is to see an emergency dentist right away. If you can't do this, there are some things that you can do until you can. Oil of Cloves reduces toothache pain when placed directly into a tooth cavity. You can soak a small cotton ball with the oil and place it into the offending tooth cavity. Dentists mix oil of cloves with zinc oxide to create a white paste that makes a soothing temporary filling. Placing ice or ice water on a tooth reduces the inflammation and can possibly help with the pain.\n\nhttp://www.atlantadentist.com/toothache_relief.html
