I have been on both sides. Most will give you something for the pain, but then you have those who are against narcotics or scared to prescribe anymore.
Next time ask ahead of time what their pain management is after a painful procedure so you know.
Tooth pain is no fun and hopefully you will not need anymore painful visits!!

I haven't had any major dental work recently, but I was always given pain meds when I had a root canal or other dental work. They usually gave me vicoprofen, about 6 to 10 pills.
It's a good thing your primary gave you something, when the mouth hurts its usually pretty bad.

It is fairly standard to be prescribed some pain relief if you ask while in the office but in my experience they rarely offer anything.
