I found the codeine based painkillers prescribed by my dentist to be essentially useless. Ibuprofen seemed to have more effect as did sleep, and keeping warm.

But in the end the only solution is to get it sorted, which for me was a thoroughly miserable experience.

I find your name very apt here.

Mustard, lots and lots of mustard.

Have a shower.

It will take your mind off it.

Ice cream with nuts in does wonders for pain relief.

ibuprofen and paracetamol best for dental pain you can use both of these at the same time (obviously depending on your medical history). Then call aroudn tomorrow morning to get an appointment.

listerine mouth wash, but keep it in your mouth near the area. after awile it'll numb the whole gum and side of your cheek. alcholol is good for pain too, drinking lots of it

Buy some Lidocaine from the pharmacy. Don't drink alcohol when using paracetamol.

Ok I have advanced over my initial recommendation

New one is: dorset naga, raw on your tooth, blow torch and petrol

Please note: this is not my opinion and if you follow it you do so entirely at your own risk, neither me nor this site can be held responsible for your actions following ingestion of this thread

i have seen the dentist and have been waiting ages to go to get work done, as i said. i didnt come here for sympothy lol i just wanted "advice" as i have tried everything i know myself.

i was unaware that medical threads were a no-no but i dont really see this as medical, rather a "spec me a pain killer" lol.

thanks anywy guys and i know that in the end only getting the work done will solve the issue, i just wanted somthing to keep me fairly pain-free for a few more days/weeks depending on how much longer i still need to wait.

i cant have emergency work done, as i need to be put asleep (dentist told me to, since its ALLOT of work)

thanks again though

dont bother with any other alcohol than brandy.
Either keep it in your mouth, or stick some cotton wool in a glass and put it in your mouth.

Drink some too

How about just asking the dentist for something?

We can't really give you advice RE painkillers as that would be a medical thread then... potential for overdose and death is there.

You can mix some painkillers within their respective stated doses fine but you should refer to a qualified person acting in their professional capacity for that advice rather than someone on the internet

What I will say - don't mix aspirin and ibuprofen, there are others you can mix but again talk to a qualified professional.

Why not ask for something stronger like oxycodone or morphine?

Sleep.

theres no chance of sleep with 'proper' toothache

well unless it makes you pass out

your doctor can give you better painkillers and if its an infection causing your pain the doctor/dentist can give you antibiotics

Rroff · 2 Oct 2010 at 23:45

Also mixing painkillers and alcohol isn't the greatest idea - not sure if anyone covered that but I assume you already realise that.

Cold milk keep it in your mouth till it gets warm, always works for me but only last 20 mins then you got to do it again.
