Question 1

what to do when vicodin doesn't stop tooth pain?

Accepted Answer

Re-eval expectations: You really can't expect pain medication to stop moderate or severe dental pain.  You need to call a dentist or endodontist to determine the source and recommend a course of action.

Question 2

what can i take for my tooth pain if vicodin doesn't help?

Accepted Answer

Ibuprofen: Ibuprofen works just as well if not better than Codeine if you take it before the pain gets worse.  400 to 600 mg every 4 to 6 hours for two to three days.  Take it regularily and it will keep the pain at bay.

Question 3

i just took vicodin for my tooth pain how long i wait before taking buspirone for anxiety?

Accepted Answer

At prescribed time: Take your Buspirone as you normally would at the normal time.
Though you should avoid activites such as driving until you know how you will react, though i would not suspect any significant additive effects. 
Just taking vicodin in general if you are not used to it could cause  impairing  effects.

Question 4

unbearable tooth pain in every tooth. been to dentists but can't afford what needs done. vicodin doesn't ease the pain at all. what do i do?

Accepted Answer

NSAIDs : Nsaids (advil, ibuprofen, motrin, aleve, (naproxen) naprosyn, etc.) are much more effective at controlling dental pain than opiates (hydrocodone, vicodin). Need to make sure not infected as you may need antibiotics. Rinsing with lukewarm salt water & flossing can help. Can also try mouth rinse with a little whisky or cognac. Get seen at a county clinic or work with your dentist to fix bad ones fixed first.

Question 5

can i have moderate amounts of alcohol if i take a low dosage of vicodin before sleeping at night (to alleviate tooth pain)?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but don't: Yes but it is very dangerous. I know 2 people that have died doing exactly what you asked. The 2 drugs magnify each other. The result makes you sleepier. The problem is you may never wake up. Alcohol does nothing for tooth pain, just helps you sleep through it. We do this kind of thing with anesthesia, but someone is watching you with a monitor.

Question 6

i took a daytime cold/flu medicine with 650mg acetaminophen 5-6 hours ago. i have a terrible tooth pain that wont go away. is it safe to take a vicodin now?

Accepted Answer

Toth pain: It is considered relatively safe to do so considering the time between the two but it is best to discuss this with your prescribing physician.

Question 7

is crocin pain relief tablet useful on tooth pain? please advise!

Accepted Answer

See your dentist: Crocin is acetaminophen and caffeine. Taken by mouth it may offer some relief but a tooth ache will not go away with pain medication or on its own. You need to see a dentist for an exam and diagnosis of what is causing your pain. A tooth typically won't hurt unless the nerve has become involved. It will only get worse. See your dentist asap. Good luck.

Question 8

tooth ache in one of my top back left teeth, think it could be a tooth abscess, what are some quick pain relief remedies?

Accepted Answer

OTC and DDS!: All the otc pain medications that you can take on your own have about equal onset of relief. Take what works best for you- advil, motrin, aleve (naproxen) or what you would normally take for a headache. However, the best and quickest relief will be obtained by seeing a dentist to determine the cause of the pain and start treatment. Thing can go downhill quickly, so don't delay!

Question 9

is norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) for bad a tooth ache?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Hydrocodone is actually a potent analgesic for tooth pain.  It's only masking the pain, so you should contact your dentist to have this evaluated to determine treatment to resolve the pain.

Question 10

i am taking 10mg ketorolac  every four hours for tooth pain and i am not getting much relief. can i take two at a time?

Accepted Answer

Pain meds: Pain meds are indicated for short term relief until you can get to see a dentist. Now is the time to be seen.
