Hi, This question is best reviewed with your doctor or dentist, no recommendations should be made without checking your full medical history and the reason youre having pain. The general categories of pain medications will range from narcotics to anti inflammatories. All the best, Dr C
With the current Opiod epidemic, we try to avoid narcotic pain meds when possible. We have found that a combination of Tylenol and Advil are a very effective pain reliever after dental procedures.
Implants should not be painful. The most we give is a simple Tylenol or Advil, and most of our patients have found that they don't need to even take that.
