Don't: Analgesics will not cure an infection. What you need is an appointment with your dentist asap, not a pill. Know that the moment you stop taking the meds, the pain will come roaring back because the infection will have gotten worse. Call for an emergency appointment now.

The smallest dose: possible for pain relief is prescribed to patient to reduce the risk of side effects and/or addiction. The painkillers such as Tylenol (acetaminophen) as well as prescription medicine like percocet and Vicodin are the first line of treatment for managing dental problems. It may provide some relief you can get to your dentist.

Dentist: If the medication was prescribed for the toothache, follow the directions. If it was not prescribed for the toothache, take the lowest dose and see dentist ASAP.
