Not recommended: Mixing two narcotic analgesics can have a disasterous consequence. To solve your problem you will need to see a local dentist for treatment. Analgesics do not repair decayed teeth or treat infections.

Life: Infected tooth, like any infection, can be life threatening. Mixing 2 potent narcotics can be life threatening. Dental treatment is the only way to cure your pain permanently...see your Dentist.

Bad idea: Opiate withdrawal symptoms almost guaranteed if you take vicoprofen (hydrocodone and ibuprofen) and Suboxone is in your system. Also a combination of both increase sedation and drowsiness. Talk to your prescribing physician for your individual situation.
