Common Drugs and Medications to Treat Toothache by Brampton Dentist

You may visit your dentist when experiencing a toothache or tooth pain. The dentist will look into your dental issue along with your medical history and may prescribe medications to help alleviate your pain. You are more likely to be prescribed the following medications:

• Codeine– it is categorized as a controlled substance; however, with the correct amount of dosage and use, the drug can alleviate the symptoms of an ailing toothache.
• Oxycodone– The potency of the drug allows it to be used for limited purposes, and it is generally prescribed for curing the post-surgery dental pain.
• Hydrocodone- The effect of hydrocodone is much influential than other toothache relieving medications, and it is used for the treatment of excruciating tooth infections.

When opioids are taken in a modest amount with acetaminophen, they tend to alleviate the symptoms of a toothache. For instance:

• Tylenol 3 – Tylenol 3  is frequently prescribed to patients to help in alleviating the symptoms of a toothache.
• Vicodin – Vicodin is a combination of acetaminophen and hydrocodone, and it helps you in combating toothache.
• Vicodin ES – It is retrieved by the combination of effective painkillers, which generally consists of 750mg of acetaminophen and 7 mg of hydrocodone.
• Percocet – This particular medicated drug contains 5mg oxycodone and 500mg acetaminophen, which relieves your pain.

If you are experiencing dental problems, your dentist will evaluate the problem and prescribe proper medication and dental procedures to alleviate the pain and restore your oral health.
