Norco Is Doing Nothing For My Dental Pain.

I was prescribed Norco 5/325 for severe dental pain. And I mean severe. Day three absolutely no sleep. I have a dentist appointment Thursday. However, I've literally been going crazy with pain. The Norco is doing nothing. I did take 400 mg. Of ibuprofen two hours after my Norco dose. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The only relief is constantly swishing ice water. Honestly, I'm a little disgusted with the Dentist's at this point. When you call and explain your dire situation and I mean dire the staff should squueze you in or adjust their schedule. If my Dentist office ever called me and asked me to move my general appointment for an emergency patient I wouldnt hesitate!!!!This isn't moderate pain. Also, they don't call in narcotic prescriptions anymore, therefore I had to call my family Doctor and be seen by her for pain medication. Even if Dentist's offered for you to come in and give you a nerve block. Waiting 3, 4, 5 days is completely inhumane.

I am very sorry that you're so miserable, I've dealt with many dental problems, so I know how painful they can be.

What is causing the dental pain? If it is due to an infection, then you will likely also need an antibiotic, or it and the pain will just continue to get worse, which may explain why the Norco isn't helping. Additionally, if there is an infection and it isn't treated, they won't be able to numb the area for dental treatment.

The FDA does warn that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

As to the dentist, it is not always easy to reshuffle their schedules to fit in emergency cases, although many do. Have you tried checking to see if there is an emergency dental clinic in your local area?

They can usually fit you in much faster to get things taken care of for you.
