Bad pain
29,not a drinker nor smoker
My dentist isn’t open until Wednesday and I am in severe pain . I had two extractions a week ago (5/5/2026) OTC medicine is barely working . Only lasts about thirty minutes . Is it safe to use Anbesol or orajel until my dentist opens or will it make it worse ???
