My back molar filling fell out a while ago; didn't really bother me
much til two weeks ago and the PAIN started. PAIN like
punchabitchintheface pain. I was able to keep that biatch at bay with
tylenol, then the beloved BC powders until last night.

As a reference for next time... Advil is the pain reliever for tooth
pain. The pain... goes... away. Seriously.

Four 200mg Advils are equivalent to one prescription 800mg Advil. A
doc will typically prescribe up to four 800mg doses per day... 3200mg.

My dentist said to take regular Advil for the pain until I could get in
to get an abcess fixed. He said that way I could control the dosage
more precisely than if he prescribed 800mg doses, and could take more
than four per day.

He said use enough Advil to kill the pain (three worked for me), and
then take the next dose when you "just" begin to feel it again. That
way, the new dose takes over before the old dose wears off too far.

I took 600mg at a shot, so I could take 5 doses per day.
