Newport:
I've had a couple of root canals. Dentist prescribe nothing more then two Advil, four times a day. Each Advil tablet is 200 mg of Ibubrofen (i.e. low level Motrin). Taking 400 mg of Advil four times a day should be more then sufficient. Only problem is if your stomach is sensitive, it might become slightly irritated. Take less if the pain isn't too severe. I'd try that before Vicodin.

Here are the steps.....
1. Fill the prescription
2. Call the dentist and ask the receptionist, if you left the script there and that you can not find it and ask for another
3. Fill second prescription at different pharmacy
4. Complain to dentist about lingering pain and get a third prescription
5. Send me 10 of the Vics for helping you out.

:lolBIG: The girl at walmart practically made me show her the tooth. The reason I got the OTM, was because Well lets just say that this was a tooth prepped by this same dentist for a root canal over a year ago, and I never went back. Hey he cleaned out the root, filled the hole with some temporary filling.......and lets say the over under until infection set in again, was 16 months.
Hurt like a bastard last night.....So I call the office this morning and I say the following.
Ok, I will take the paddle machine when I come in, and you all can make fun of me being the worst dental patient ever
BUT MY MOUTH IS KILLING ME< AND I HAVE PLIERS IN MY HANDS
So, the prescription was written before I arrived, and he gave me an office supply of one tablet.......and I said You da MAN DOC !!!!!!!!!!!

For pain with no high and very little side effects OMT is right - Motrin is what most doctors or dentists prescribe. Motrin is non addictive but will work if you give it time. Narually being non-addictive it also not very popular with patients who like a buzz from their pain killers.
