What is the best pain medication to treat severe wisdom tooth impaction?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Ibuprofen: The best over the counter medication would be Ibuprofen (motrin). I would take three every 6hrs. Do not exceed 12 tabs in any 24 hour period, i would definitely call your dentist to have this treated as there could be infection present and this must be treated immediately.

Narcotics: You will need to see a dentist/oral surgeon who can provide you with a narcotic prescription.
