I'm not a doctor.. I'm actually a nursing student but I know enough about narcotics to say that it wouldnt be a good Idea.. Vicodin is pretty strong and lasts for a while.. Adding on a percocet could cause a narcotic overdose and could land you in a hospital.. If the pain doesnt go away after a while, I would either take tylenol or(this may sound crazy) put an ice pack on that side of your jaw.. The ice will numb the nerves and kill the pain.. This worked for my dad when he had an abscessed tooth..Health Question & Answer

I would call your local ER and ask to speak with an RN and she will tell you if it's all-right to take the percocet..Health Question & Answer
