He should prescribe an antibiotic and a narcotic.
An antibiotic, and usually vicodin.
they will only tell you to either take tylenol or motrin. most of the times this will work just fine. If it is an impacted tooth like a wisdom tooth they will give you something more and some antibiotics. If you are still in great pain you can usually call in and they MAY give you something more.
Most likely Hydro-co-den its vick-o-den ( sorry i don’t know how to spell those really lol) and he well also give you something to fight off the infection. GOOD LUCK!
He should prescribe 800milligrams of ibuprofen for pain and swelling. Then an antibiotic to fight infection. If your sensitive the ibuprofen will make you sleepy. You also need to take it with food or else you’ll have a killer tummy ache.

If it is a regular tooth they won’t prescribe anything as there is no pain with pulling a tooth. They numb you and pull it and that is it. If you do feel pain take 400-600 mg of ibuprofen.
