Aspirin and other otc pain meds are fine in the short run. The toothache will cause higher than normal glucose numbers due to the infection. Aspirin has a habit of lowering glucose a bit, but in this case is totally ok.
Other things like percoset need to be balanced against your necessary diabetic meds.
A good place to go to find the interactions of meds is:
http://www.drugs.com/ and check out all the various drugs you have been Rx'd to see what the interactions could be.

That's why you let doctors and pharmacists know you're diabetic. They will know which medications you can have.
Aspirin is probably fine. Lots of diabetics take it.
