Dentist ASAP: If that much pain medication is not helping you need to see a dentist now. The pain will soon become unbearable.

Visit a dentist: If in any doubt always seek professional advice prior to taking any medications even OTC. The key to successful dental pain management is proper diagnosis first and then correct treatment by your dentist.
