The two non-narcotic pain medications that I have found to work the best may not be
something your oral surgeon can prescribe in his office, although you can ask:
One of the first items on my list is IV Tylenol. It really does work well better if itÿs given
IV, even though itÿs the same stuff you can buy over the counter (itÿs called acetaminophen).
Following that, you have IV or IM Toradol. This is a non-steroidal-anti-inflammatory-
drug, which is a pill, but its pain relieving abilities are much stronger when a shot is
given.
While this could be given through IV in a medical setting, most people get this through
intramuscular injection. It will work similarly to other medications that have a similar
name, such as ibuprofen or naproxen, when taken orally.
Your oral surgeon may have a problem prescribing you Toradol since it, like any other
NSAID, may prolong bleeding times due to its effects on platelets.
When it comes to oral medication prior to extracting your teeth, over-the-counter
NSAIDs such as ibuprofen and naproxen, or Tylenol, are as effective as any.
