The best way to relieve tooth pain is to combine two painkillers. The usual advice is to combine a non-steriodal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) such as ibuprofen and to combine this with a simple pain killer such as Paracetamol (Acetemenophen). For an adult, take 400mg of Ibuprofen and 1000mg of Paracetamol and repeat every 8 hours. Take no more than 1200mg of Ibuprofen and no more than 4000mg of Paracetamol in any 24 hour period. Many people are not aware that they can take both an NSAID and Paracetamol at the same can, but you can do so safely. It is important to also see a dentist as the teeth may need to be removed.

You can take Tylenol or ibuprofen for the pain. And if there is swelling, apply ice to the jaw and mouth area for 20 minutes at a time, at 20 minute intervals (20 minutes on, 20 minutes off). As for eating, cold foods and drinks are best for the first several days after surgery. Foods like yogurt, jello, and pudding. Milkshakes are also very good to have. Also drink lots of cold water (not ice water, just cold) to wash the area the teeth were extracted from.

There are various methods which may be utilised to relieve the pain caused by wisdom teeth, these include purchasing over the counter pain-killers such as paracetamol or numbing medications such as benzocaine. Additionally bathing the tooth with saltwater for one minute a few times a day will aid in numbing the pain significantly.

Along with keeping ice on face, you can eat ice creams to make that area numb for some time. For extreme cases, take medication prescribed by your doctor.

Just take the meds the dentist or oral surgeon give you. I found that icing your cheeks really really help. Maybe take an ibuprofen if you get headaches from it.

Try "Oragel" - it's a dental gel with a local anathestic in it, and it's very effective. Alternatively, try chewing ice/ice lollies to numb your mouth.
