Will a muscle relaxer help with tooth pain?

Been having this terrible toothache for the past two days, it's really unbearable. My dentist said it might be due to jaw clenching from stress. Someone at work suggested trying a muscle relaxer. Will that actually help with the tooth pain?

Honestly, for tooth pain, I'd be very careful taking anything without asking a dentist, especially with my diabetes. Muscle relaxers are for muscles, right? Tooth issues are different. Best to get it checked properly.

Muscle relaxers for tooth pain? No, didi. Tooth pain needs a dentist. Go get it checked, don't self-medicate with muscle stuff, it won't help your tooth directly. Jaldi jao doc ke paas.

Look, if it's tooth pain, a muscle relaxer isn't the solution. You need to see a dentist, quick appointment. Taking something that's not for the issue will just delay actual treatment and prolong your pain. Efficiency is key here.

Tooth pain can be really difficult to deal with. It's usually best to consult a dentist for any tooth-related issues. They can tell you exactly what medicine will help.

Oh god, tooth pain is the worst! I get so anxious when my tooth aches. A muscle relaxer? I'm not sure if that's right. Has anyone tried it and it actually worked? I always just thought it was for like, back pain or something.
