Dental pain: If you have chronic dental pain that requires pain meds, then you have a underlying problem that needs to be addressed. You need to see a dentist for an exam and figure out what your problem is.

Treat the cause: Pain meds will not solve your problems. Please see a local dentist for definitive care and you won't have to be in pain or worry about meds.

Call a dentist ASAP: Any other treatment is a temporary relief. A tooth pain won't go away without treatment and the infection may spread to your jaw, cheeks, sinus and to other areas of your head and neck. See your dentist ASAP.
