I’m getting put on a waiting list soon for wisdom tooth removal however I’m in pain every day and have been having to take pain killers every day since December which isn’t ideal im just wondering what pain killers are best to take for toothache that i can take daily?
 
Mixture of ibuprofen, Paracetamol and good old Aspirin if your stomach is OK with it. Change every 3-4 days and don't exceed the maximum daily dose of any of them. Aspirin is probably the most effective pain killer of the 3.
Try to take them as evenly throughout the day as possible.
Rinsing around the area vigorously with hot salty mouthwash a couple of times a day might help too. 1 teaspoon of salt to a glass of warm water is about right.
