    Hi -

    You're better off taking ibuprofen (Advil) for dental pain, if you're not allergic to it. It's much more effective than Tylenol. Don't take it on an empty stomach, though.

    And, please don't be afraid to go to the dentist. He is there to help you, and will take of the problem, so that you no longer have this pain to deal with.

    Just tell him about your fears, and I'm sure he will happy to work with you, and make your appointment as comfortable as possible. He doesn't want to hurt you, he wants to help.

    so you're afraid of going to the dentist, probably because you are afraid it will hurt.

    But you already hurt now. And the dentist will make the pain stop. See the issue?
