How to stop dental pain so i can sleep?

Dentist : You need to see a dentist to find the source of pain. You can try ibuprophen or tylenol (acetaminophen) but any pain that keeps you from sleeping should be treated immediately.

See a dentist: Take pain medication until you see a dentist. Your dentist will get you out of pain.

Find source: The best way is to be examined by a dentist to find the source of the pain and then have the necessary treatment to eliminate the source of the pain.

Over the counter med: At home, take Ibuprofen (often it is safe to take up to 800mg every 6 to 8 hours. Consult with your pharmacist to make sure that is safe for you. A cold pack to the affected area can also help. Sometimes keeping your head more upright so that the blood flow doesn't increase a pounding sensation can help. Keep your nutrition up- drink a lot of water, drink smoothies or similar. See your dentist now.

Definitive care: Please see your local dentist. If you have dental pain the only way to definitively resolve it is to have your infected tooth undergo root canal treatment or have the tooth extracted. Pain medications will not resolve the problem only prolong the infection..Take care.

Upgrade!: Obviously if you are in pain, it will be high on your priority list to get it gone and move on.

There is really no good time for an emergency, and the majority of them are avoidable :-).

Pain is a good!: Especially with teeth but true with the whole body in general. Pain is a good indicator something is wrong.

Please find a dentist to help you, the pain will likely get worse till you do.

Get to source: Need to see a dentist and determine the source of your dental pain. Does not help to medicate, etc, if you are treating symptoms and not the cause.
