Is oxycodone good for tooth pain?

Question

I'm having terrible tooth pain, it's really bad. A friend offered me an oxycodone pill they had. Is oxycodone a good medicine for tooth pain, like, will it really help?

Rajesh Gupta · Accepted Answer

Oxycodone is way too strong for normal toothaches. A simple warm water salt rinse and a basic over-the-counter painkiller recommended by a local dentist is much more practical and safer for daily life.

Please don't just suppress the pain with heavy medicines. I once ignored a minor toothache and ended up needing an emergency root canal because the infection spread. Go see a dentist immediately instead of taking such strong pills.

Tooth pain is the absolute worst! 😬 But oxycodone is a very heavy prescription drug and usually not needed for dental issues. Try keeping a clove near the hurting tooth, it works like magic! 🌸

Alok Mishra · Answer

No, it is a very strong opioid and usually not prescribed for basic tooth pain. Better to visit a dentist for a proper checkup.

Beta, don't take such heavy English medicines for a toothache. Gently press a little clove oil on a cotton swab against the tooth, it will give you sweet relief. Do visit a doctor in town if the pain does not go away.

In my experience, dentists rarely prescribe oxycodone unless it is for major jaw surgery. For normal tooth pain, simple anti-inflammatory medicines do a much better job. Please consult a dental clinic before taking anything so strong.

Oh god, tooth pain can literally drive you crazy, I totally feel you! But oxycodone is extremely strong and can be addictive. I'd suggest calling your dentist and asking for a safer prescription that doesn't make you feel completely groggy.
