If the Percocet is not alleviating the pain, then you need to call your dentist. DO NOT PIGGYBACK pain meds -- don't take Motrin/Advil/Aleve with your Percocet. You need to always call the dentist if Percocet doesn't work, because the severe pain is likely a warning that something is wrong, such as dry sockets or other sign of infection. If after you see the dentist, the pain is still bad, ask for a different opioid like Vicodin. But first make sure the pain isn't telling you something important -- see your dentist again immediately.
