DDS not pills: What you need is a dentist to evaluate the cause of the pain and other symptoms and treat you accordingly. Pills will likely only help you temporarily if at all until it becomes a more serious problem and then with or without the pills you won't be able to function or worse. Serious infections can put you into the hospital and can become life threatening. Call and make an appointment!
