Can you tell me what is the best painkiller for jaw/tooth pain?

Best painkiller?: There is no one "best" pain killer for anything. It depends upon the cause of the pain, your own pain threshold and individual variance. Different ones work differently for different folks. The best pain killer is your dentist who can fix the problem.

See a dentist: The answer is, of course, to seek treatment at the earliest opportunity at your dental office but there are effective analgesics like Tylenol (acetaminophen) or NSAIDs OTC that can be used to control toothache before you see a dentist.
