I have two cracked bottom teeth. The pain is unreal. I have been on two different types of antibiotics. I take two Tylenol every 3-4 hours with extra strength Advil gel caps and rub the area with clove oil and wait for the pain to subside until the 4 hour mark.

I'm taking antibiotic clindamycin, which doesn't seem to be working at all for the pain of my root infection. I've used Orajel and ibuprofen – nothing works. Note: my infection is located under the root in a molar that had a root canal for more than 19 years.
