Should you take Aleve or hydrocodon for tooth pain?

I would say it depends on the type of dental pain (pre-surgical,post-surgical,or just bad infections or abcesses). Demerol (meperidine) is a way stronger pain killer than hydrocodone( vicodin,lortab,norco,vicoprofen). People having serious dental surgeries or have a tolerence to opiods might need the stronger demerol. Less severe dental pain can most likely be controlled by hydrocodone. Also hydrocodone always has either acetaminophen,or ibuprofen in it . While meperidine (demerol) has only that drug in it. The acetaminophen or ibuprofen in hydrocodone also has an anti swelling property to it which can help a lot. I've personally never heard of demerol prescribed for dental pain. Usually if something stronger than hydrocodone is needed percocet (oxycodone) is given.

Lortab is the brand name for hydrocodone and acetaminophen (tylenol). Hydrocodone is not the same as oxycodone and oxycodone is much stronger than hydrocodone. Oxycodone drugs include OxyContin, Percocet, etc. So a simple answer, oxycodone is stronger.

Is toradol stronger than hydrocodone?

I suppose it technically depends on the type of pain, and the respective dosages, but just based on the fact that hydrocodone is an opiate, and ketorolac (toradol) is not, for the most part, hydrocodone is going to be stronger. Also hydrocodone as prescribed (in the US) includes a good amount of acetaminophen, which adds to its increased efficacy.

How does Demerol compare to percoset?

Both demerol and percocet are opioids, meaning they have opium alkaloids as their base. As far as potency goes, the oxycodone in Percocet is stronger than the meperidine in Demerol. Taken orally, Demerol is only about one-third as strong as when given IV or in a muscle. Taken orally, oxycodone is about 50% stronger than morphine, which is many times stronger than meperidine.
