Question 1

is it safe to take percocet while pregnant after getting teeth pulled?

Accepted Answer

Questionable: Percocet is tylenol (acetaminophen) + oxycodone.  While the tylenol (acetaminophen) is okay, i don't like putting pregnant women on narcotics of this strength.  Generally i look at Codeine (tylenol (acetaminophen) (acetaminophen) 3) and occasionally Norco (tylenol (acetaminophen) (acetaminophen) & hydrocodone).  Some of this depends on how many teeth you are having removed since pain control is important both for you and your baby.  Speak with you dentist & ob/gyn regarding your case.

Question 2

prescribed perocet 5/325 for tooth extraction, makes me drowsy but does not kill the pain, why if this is supposed to such a strong drug?

Accepted Answer

Pain: In my practice i give 600 to 800 mg of Motrin before the surgery and advise the the patient to take it three times a day , if he needs or not to reduce the inflammatory process and expedite the healing , narcotic does not do that , my advice take the Motrin or advil 600 mg with 500 mg tylenol (acetaminophen) , if pain persists then likely hood you have what's known dry socket , the blood colt was lost or did not.

Question 3

i'm having extreme tooth pain. i took 2 motrin at 5pm and 1 percocet at 8:30 pm. still in pain. can i take 2 motrin now?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can: If you have a toothache, you may have a cavity or advanced gum disease. A tooth pain won't go away without treatment and the infection may spread to your jaw, cheeks, sinus and to other areas of your head and neck. You can use Tylenol (acetaminophen) for pain control. See a dentist ASAP for assessment and treatment.

Question 4

abcessed tooth can you take two 5-325mg percocets ?

Accepted Answer

Tooth: I would take one and see my dentist asap. Percocet and drugs like Percocet only work for a short time;you build up resistance to the drug. See your dentist or seek treatment at an er or dental school.

Question 5

i'm 24 weeks pregnant, can i take percocet for a few days after having a tooth extracted?

Accepted Answer

Yes...: A couple of doses of Percocet to control pain after a surgical procedure should not be a problem. Feel better soon!

Question 6

i am taking ampicillin for an abcessed tooth. i am going to the dentist in 3 weeks. i took mavidol for pain 5 hrs ago, but it only lasted 3. can i take a percocet?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You need to insist on getting an appointment sooner than 3 weeks, or find new dentist. It is not healthy to be on antibiotics for that long. The source of infection (the tooth) needs to be addressed or the infection will not go away. A Percocet would be ok to take. Your limitation is the amount of tylenol (acetaminophen) in each pill. Each Percocet may have 325mg of acetominophen. Do not exceed 3000mg a day.

Question 7

i been off of suboxone for 3 month,removed wis tooth,got script for percocet,how long will it take for me to get withdrawls again,or get hooked on it?

Accepted Answer

Avoid addiction: You may not even have to take the Percocet. Try Ibuprofen 400mg to 600 mg every 6 to 8 hours.Ice, Salt water rinses   If you are still in pain take the prescribed dose of Percocet to stop the pain.You have a limited supply for a few days.  No need to get hooked on it.
Go to a meeting NA for help during this treatment.

Question 8

how save are percocet to take during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Are they needed?: Pain medication should be taken if prescribed. Please do not take any medication during pregnancy if not needed.

Question 9

is it safe to take percocet while pregnant, i have sickle cell?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, you can.. Just avoid excessive use.. It is consider class b for pregnancy, which means that studies in animals showed no harm to fetus. No human studies are available. Given the fact that sickle cell pain is quite severe and recurrent, it is permissible to take it as needed while limiting its use to times when it is necessary. Good luck..

Question 10

hx of irregular cycles. today found out i'm 6 weeks pregnant. i have chronic complex migraines for which i take 40mg of percocet a day. i have taken as perscribed for the last 6 wks. i will stop but i am worried about damage thus far. ?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: There is a theoretical risk of damage with any drug used in pregnancy. However, from experience, fetal malformation is usually not seen with legally prescribed opioid  drugs. More common is withdrawal symptoms in the baby after birth with long term use of opioids. Also, there is a risk of low birth weight but this is more common with illicit drug use.
