What is the best pain medication for chronic long term dental pain?
Question
I have chronic agonizing pain in my left cheek that never goes away I have had it for 2 years and the doctors seem to have just given up. What is the best painkiller?
AnswerÂ
I had a similar pain in my cheek for two years. First of all, make sure your bite is good and are not loading on one or more teeth. I would ask for an anticonvulsant type of medication. This is the most common medication prescribed for longterm facial nerve pain. It was the only medication that helped me. Some antibiotics also have inflammatory properties and you could try that first or at the same time.
