whats the best over the counter pain medication for a moderate to severe tooth ache?

hello i have a moderate to severe tooth ache and cant afford to go to the dentist and i have no dental insurance so far the ib profun 200 MG pills aren't working neither are the tylenol rapid release tablets what will work best to help numb the pain till i can get to the dentist and please no herbal or home remedies tried them they didn't work just meds ty
--------------------
If you are having a toothache, no amount of topical numbing stuff will do anything except taste bad. Your tooth is probably infected, and this is INSIDE the tooth. You should go to the dentist. Even if you can't afford the work right now, they can prescribe you antibiotics and pain meds. They can also give you a treatment plan, so you'll know how much you need to save up to get this taken care of. Up your dosage of Motrin, also. I usually take 3 or 4 200mg at a time.

Are dentists all the same price, or are some cheaper than others?

I don't have dental insurance, and I am not sure if I should be selective based on prices, or if I should just assume that they all charge the same prices.
--------------------
Yes there are definitely cheaper and more expensive ones. You should be very selective about prices, especially since you don't have insurance. Call the offices and ask for a cash price for whatever services you need. Some dentists will offer a discount for cash customers, so be sure to call around. If there is a dental school in your area, that would probably be the best bet. Other than cleanings, it's only the students who are about to graduate that do the work and they are usually much much cheaper than a regular dentist. The students are also supervised by instructors, so you don't have to worry that they don't know what they're doing. Good luck and best wishes!

Can I get someone to help me get my teeth fixed ?

I am 24 and I have had problems with them so the other day I saw that they now have crowns that will actually look like your teeth but the problem is I can't afford it and I do not have dental insurance.I want to have a big beautiful makeover can someone help?
--------------------
do you have any idea how much crowns are? Get a job and start saving money. That is what my husband had to do. Then, talk to your dentist about working out some kind of payment plan. I have been going to the same dentist since I was a kid, he always works with me to pay in installments because we don't have dental insurance, either.

What kind of heath insurance do you have?

I was wondering what your work or you have personally? It would be for the doctor visits, possibly pregnancy (finding it to be easier to pay outright), and dental maybe.
--------------------
healthplans.bebto.com - my family have this health insurance. It is affordable and has good coverage for dental issues.

Does anyone know of low cost for getting wisdom teeth removed in California?

My son doesn't have dental insurance and needs his wisdom teeth removed-2 are impacted.
--------------------
I would look into eHealthPlus membership. It will give you a big break on extractions, with general dentists as well as specialists. Look for both general dentists and oral surgeons by zip code.
