Advice please - I am having a tooth removed i 40 mins...

[putthesneckon]

should i take painkillers now or wait until the numbing injection is wearing off.

I have toothache now and took painkillers this morning so could take paraceteml and ibruprofen now or am I best waiting?

Best waiting

Just wait, as soon as you have that injection the pain relief will be amazing and quite long lasting anyway, I've had 2 teeth out and it's fine.

Wait and take it about half an hour after the extraction

Thanks, i think i will just have Kalms. I'm frightened as he said it will probably break coming out.

The local will last a few hours, so as long as you've a clear 4 hours, take some now
