The best over-the-counter painkillers for toothache are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs for short. These include ibuprofen, Advil, etc.
Dentists may prescribe 800mg Ibuprofen every four to six hours as an alternative to narcotic pain relievers. Don't take if you have Asthma without checking with your doctor.
Also, you can try Acetaminophen (Tylenol), but it usually isn't as good as ibuprofen because it doesn't have anti-inflammatory properties. Ibuprofen is both a pain killer and an anti-inflammatory.
If the above don't work, you can try Aleve which is the brand name of Naproxsen. You can buy it OTC, but if you take double what the dose on the OTC bottle says, you'll be taking it at prescription strength. Just be sure to have something to eat with it because it's hard on the stomach.

Why is codeine good for dental pain?
dihydrocideine is a *Very* strong oral painkiller. One of the strongest, in fact. It should not make the pain worse on it's own unless you are having side effects. You should speak to your dentist if the pain is getting worse. It is very unusual for a painkiller to make the pain worse. One thing it can do is irritate your stomach lining, so watch out for unusual pain or bleeding.

What are some of the best dental products you can use on a budget?
When you say on a budget I'm going to assume that you mean you don't have an awful lot of money to spend on dental products besides the standard things like toothpaste, mouthwash, dental floss, and the replacement of tooth brushes. The best dental products that you can buy on a budget besides these are mouth rinse, over the counter teeth whitening, and plaque removers (they look like dental instruments used to scrape teeth but they're not as sharp or dangerous to use). These would be the safest and the best things to use as far as getting dental products on a budget.
