Tooth pain: Tooth pain indicates advanced infection which is placing additional strain on your other organs. Tylenol blocks pain, doesn't treat infection. You are already taking the maximum recommended daily dose. Too much can cause liver failure. Your Dentist will have to titrate the dose for you for effectiveness/safety. If your Dentist can't see you for a month, you may have to seek treatment elsewhere.
