Question: What is the best painkiller for a pulled tooth?
Answers:
I just had one pulled the other day; have the dentist prescribe something for you. Tell him/her your issue with Tylenol, which is acetaminophen.
They gave me a combination of acetaminophen with some sort of narcotic. It's called hydrocodone:

It's always mixed with some sort of pain killer, though not always acetaminophen as in my case.
Honestly, I didn't even need it but took the prescription just in case. But, everyone reacts to a tooth pull differently.
I have very sensitive teeth and the Dentist can not work on
my teeth without first give me about 5 minutes gas. Then he works.
After is all done, he gave me about 10 minutes of oxygen.
If you have heart murmur, or anything, remember to tell the
dentist BEFORE he treats you and he will give you some antibiotics
one hour BEFORE he begins to work., Call the dentist, and tell
him you are allergic to Tylenol 3 ( I am too) and the dentist
will prescribe a different pain killer. Do not take any medicine that
you are told here ( even with the good intentions) because don't know if
you are allergic to many others. Just call your dentist right away.
Any narcotic or tramadol but you have to take the tramadol for a full 24 hrs before it starts to work.
Just tell your dentist that, and he/she should be able to recommend something better.
