Hello,

I can understand your concern. As your tooth is cracked, any pressure or touch on the tooth might be eliciting severe pain in the tooth. Extraction of the tooth will give you permanent relief from the pain.

However, as you have to wait for the appointment of the dentist, you need to take painkillers. ibuprofen may not work as efficiently in your pain and you do not need to go for oxycodone. I would advise you to take Ketorolac 10 mg (Ketorol DT) which is dissolved in water and is drank. It gives long lasting relief and starts acting faster than Ibuprofen. You can take it up to three times a day.

Alternatively, you can take combination of Nimesulide and Serratiopeptidase (SN-15) if you can get it over the counter. This medicine works really well in tooth related pain.

I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. I wish you feel better soon.

Best,

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain severe pain in tooth occurs commonly due to opening of the nerve fibers that are present in the centre of tooth and as you have a cracked tooth inflammation and irritation of the nerves can cause severe pain..

In such condition painkillers can provide temporary relief it and you need to get the tooth either treated or extracted for permanent relief..

Although Motrin is appropriate for this pain condition and flexeril being muscle relaxant not needed..
Oxycodone and Acetaminophen combination can help in relieving high threshold pain and is a comparatively safer combination provided you are not allergic to any of its ingredients..
You can very much take it by getting prescribed by a local Physician or dentist..

But for complete relief consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and an x ray can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..

You can consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like x ray can be done for diagnosis..

If tooth can be saved ROOT CANAL TREATMENT can help..
In case of gross decay extraction is advised..

Hope this helps..
