Tylenol (acetaminophen) & dentist: For temporary relief you may take any over the counter pain relief like Tylenol (acetaminophen). However, you need to consult a dentist to treat the underlying cause of the pain. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex.

Ineffective: Rather than trying to mask the pain, better to determine the cause. Once cause has been established it can be properly treated. Your pain may indicate tooth abscess and/or gum disease. These infections do not self-cure, and can be extremely invasive and dangerous. Face it, you need to see a Dentist. Take advantage of his/her thousands of hours of training and years of experience.

Dental Treatment: is the only option for your dental and periodontal care. Take NSAIDs or Tylenol (acetaminophen) OTC and see your dentist ASAP for evaluation, x-rays and proper treatment.

Phone call: Call your dentist for an appointment. Home remedies do not work for dental issues such as yours. Take OTC pain meds in the meantime to help with your discomfort.
