Answers:
There is a product called Temprin, this is used to fill lost cavities and replace crowns. It has a pain medication right in it. Keep taking the Ibuprofen at normal doses, don't go overboard since this medication can and will damage your stomach and liver if taken for too long or in high doses. Ibuprofen will help much more than tylenol since it is meant for inflammation. Try a cold pack as well.
You probably have an infection that needs to be taken care of with antibiotics. Good luck to you, this happened to me about a year ago and I could do nothing for a few weeks but pace back and forth, it was so bad that I couldn't sleep, eat or even want to talk and I remember my legs being soooo tired. I wouldn't wish that type of pain on anyone. The first antibiotic didn't work then the pain medication didn't work, the second pain medication I was allergic to and I was so worried about asking for a new type, I didn't want them to think I was like selling the stuff ( I work in a pharmacy) So it was a bad month for me needless to say. I hope you do not have any troubles!
Don't use candle wax to fill the lost filling. I am not sure if it will irritate it more than it is now but I do know that if it does you won't be able to take it back out! Besides the wax will be nowhere near sterile and may only add to your problem.Health Question & Answer

There are some topical anesthetics like Ambesol you can buy at the drugstore. It is usually located in the same section as toothbrushes, etc. It will only temporarily dull the pain and you will have to apply it every hour or so, but it will hold you over until you get to the dentist. also call and see if there are any cancellations in their schedule so they can see you sooner.Health Question & Answer
icing it is all that helps. ive had 3 different toothaches with 3 different root canals....you have to convince ur dentist that its an emergency. pain killers and ambesol/oragel dont help "AT ALL!" not at all not one bit. trust me they never helped me the least bit. ice helps a very small amount though, but u gotta convince them its a really painful emergency.Health Question & Answer
i agree with the using of wax
use a ball of unscented wax and squish it tight into ur "hole" of ur tooth.
GARGLE WITH WARM SALT WATER
swish salty luke-warm water in ur mouth. it will soothe ur tooth.
then put on the wax
take extra strength tylenol (2 of them)
or 2 ibuprofens.
DO NOT MIX TYLENOL AND ADVIL or the pills will not work at all.
you have to wait at least 6 hours before u switch to a tylenol from an advil...... DO NOT MIX!!
hope u feel beter! :]Health Question & Answer

Ambesol and all that other crap is NOT going to do the trick for a molar. Go to the liquor store and get a 5th of "Hot Damn" (cinnamon flavored liquor), swish it around in the back of your mouth and then spit it out. This is the absolute ONLY thing that worked for me.Health Question & Answer
