Dental visit: Pain medications are available, but most states require that you are a patient of a doctor who can prescribe them. Suggest exam and registration nas a patient asap.

Wisdom tooth: If you are already on antibiotics, the best med for pain relief is ibuprofen. However, you should check with the dentist or oral surgeon who prescribed the antibiotics.
