I had horrendous toothache not long ago. I was literally crying with the pain it was that bad, and couldn't sleep at all. I wanted as strong painkillers as I could get so I went to the doctors. You can actually take a combination of cocodamol and Ibuprofen together. But you just need to be careful how much you take. Get to the docs and they will sort you.

But in the end the dentist is the only way to cure it. I've had to have over £500 of work in the last few months. Bargain! NOT.
