I had a wisdom tooth come in, smash itself against the molar next to it, and then start grinding the nerves together.
Literally blinding pain, like my vision went white and it overrode every other sensation in my body.
That being said, what ultimately helped me cope was a maximum does of ibuprofen and acetaminophen. Fair warning, I am not a doctor, and I was a young healthy man with no liver issues. I was able to take both at the same time and it cut the pain. The two meds work in different ways that compliment each other. This is not a long-term solution, this was to last 3 days for a dental appointment to have both teeth pulled.
but then you combine differently acting painkillers, not just take 20 times the safe dose of one O.o
like Ibuprofren and Paracetamol can be safely combined up to their allowed doses, which is what I did after surgery, spaced them out to half-time between each other’s next allowed pill 🤷
Pain is a hell of a drug, and if the first time you’ve had pain so bad you’d shoot yourself to make it stop is terrifying.
That, and tooth pain is particularly bad.

It sounds like you’ve never experienced the pain I’m describing.
