Oral and Dental Conditions - Will a crushed up Xanax placed on decaying tooth help with nerve pain?

Hi Sin,
Chelle gave you good advice.
There is nothing to treat nerve pain except a root canal to remove the nerve.
It may need just a deep filling but if you have been told root canal the handwriting is in the wall.
It won't stop hurting nor will it go away.
Btw.. my daughter had a toothache. She stopped at the store on the way home from work for Oragel. She ate a little dinner and then used the Oragel.
She almost went through the roof! All night in severe pain. Oragel on an exposed nerve can be very painful!
Good luck...
:-)

Dear Snl85 - I doubt it since the main purpose of Xanax is not pain control. I have heard and read recently that an aspirin will do the job. I'd give that a try b4 I wasted a Xanax. BTW I take Xanax several times a day and it has never worked for any kind of pain control for me; maybe the way I felt about it, but no real pain control. Best wishes, ChelleKay
