Got severe tooth pain from an infection antibiotics have not worked dentist refuses to give me painkillers been crying for a week what can i do?

See the dentist: Antibiotics only calm the infection down. The source of the infection needs to be treated, and that can mean a filling, root canal or extraction.

Advil/tylenol: A very effective over the counter (otc) way to help with dental pain is taking 3 advil (ibuprofen) and 2 extra strength tylenol (acetaminophen) every 6 hours. Tylenol by itself is the worst otc pain killer for dental pain. You can alway go to the emergency room at a hospital with dental residents.

Solve the problem.: Like a splinter in your finger, dental pain exists because there is a problem. Would you take pain medication and antibiotics to manage the splinter? Not likely: you would take it out! see your dentist. Solve the problem. Take fewer meds & be well :-).

Endodontic therapy: You need either to have the tooth removed or to have the tooth treated with root canal therapy. Find a dentist that can get you in today to do either and you will begin to heal and feel better.

You don't: Want to solve dental pain with narcotics,it will only get worse, need different dental procedure, maybe different antibiotics. And maybe narcotics for one night to allow you to sleep

New Dentist: Get a new dentist and report your current dentist to the local dental society. You may need a root canal, a new antibiotic or an extraction.
