HELP!! my jaw is killing me.... - Dental Health Message Board

I desperately need a root canal due to a crown breaking off at the gum line. However, my dr.can't see me until Friday. I am in terrible pain. Does anyone have any ideas on how to relieve the pain until then? Heat, cold compresses, etc.

Mila --

You can't get pain medication from the person who is going to the work??

NO, the dr. is out of town, and no one there to prescribe it. I have some Darvocet on hand which I have been trying to get by with, but they are not very strong.

Kerry, thanks for the recommendation. I will try that combination immediately.
