I had some major pain from a wisdom tooth that was breaking, I lived with it for a YEAR because we didn't have dental insurance and knew we were getting it - still ended up paying for the majority of the $600-ish bill to have all 4 wisdom teeth pulled out. I did find that Ibuprofen took care of the pain pretty well, and worked fast, Tylenol took an hour or so to kick in! Tried Excedrin Migraine (had it on hand lol) and I took it for over a month straight and realized it was messing up my stomach.
