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.

No, but...: Norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) in and of itself can relieve pain associated with a tooth ache. However, Norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) will not treat the tooth ache. It is very possible that the swelling, pain, and danger can increase even while taking norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen). It is very advisable to seek care from a dentist!

See a dentist: Norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) has been found to have increased effectiveness because it is an opioid combined with acetaminophen and good for tooth pain. Of course, it’s temporary relief and visit to your dentist is warranted. Call for appointment today.

Yes: Yes, it will help the pain but not solve the problem. You have to see a dentist to fix the tooth.
