Well, here is what I did when I had dental implants done.  VERY painful!  I took 800 mg of Ibuprofen and Tylenol or I took a Goody's Powder which is essentially the same thing.....just adds some caffeine, but it's a good pain reliever.  Tastes like doo doo though!  Ice will numb it, but won't feel too wonderful to your skin, so wrap it up.  The good thing is that 1) you were honest.  2)you learned from it and 3) dental pain isn't chronic pain from something like a root canal.  It WILL get better soon! : )  If it's really bad, walk up and ask a pharmacist what is the best thing to buy to treat post-root canal work without a prescription.  They should be happy to help you!

Hey!!!  Good for you!  Being honest isn't easy!  I commend you for being honest, both here, and with your doc.  Way to go!  That's super!

I find Motrin works well...ask your dentist, but usually 600-800mg every 6 hrs as needed will help.  Sometimes, they'll tell you you can take Tylenol in between.  Ask your dentist what you can take, and the doses.  Ice can be helpful too.  Don't be afraid to call him and ask!
