A Safe Pain Reliever
Dr. Jelinek’s Trick for Overcoming Oral Health Pain
Opioid misuse and addiction is a public health crisis nearly 30 years in the making. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, opioid manufacturers began pushing doctors and other medical professionals to prescribe these pain relievers more frequently in the 1990s, citing that the drugs were safe to use. As they did so, these highly addictive compounds became more readily available, and overdoses skyrocketed. The institute reports that in 2019, 50,000 people died from an opioid-related overdose and about 1.7 million people were addicted to pain relieving medication in 2017. It’s no wonder why people want to avoid prescription drug and opioid use — no matter how much pain they are experiencing. Dr. Jelinek has found a safe alternative to relieving oral-related pain, and it doesn’t require a prescription. Instead, he often advises patients suffering from mouth pain to take one Aleve pill and two extra strength Tylenol pills at the same time. (The Tylenol must be extra strength.) This is a powerful combination that can treat pain without the addictive side effects.

A dental professional can root out the cause of your pain and prescribe effective treatment to return your mouth to a natural, healthy state. As always, consult with a trusted medical professional before taking any medication, and do not operate machinery, make important decisions, or do household chores after taking this combination of medication.
