How Can Severe Toothache Be Treated?

I took 6 MG of klonopin along with 120 MG of Restoril (both prescribed meds - but, not in that large a dose), out of sheer desperation to ease excruciating tooth ache pain until I can see my Dentist tomorrow (Monday). IN fact, I am beginning to feel a little light headed as I write. (I am not an user of illegal drugs). HELP!!!

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Toothache are very severe intensity pain because it is closed space.
In my opinion, you should take over the counter painkiller (ibuprofen or acetaminophen) (only if you are not allergic it them).
They will give you pain relief.
Also apply ice packs on affected areas of face. Avoid hard to chew food. Take soft diet only.
Try to meet your dentist as early as possible.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
