Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Etodolac should be taken with caution by individuals with Heart disease. Secondly, if you have a tooth pain then just taking painkiller will not solve the problem.

You should get an x-ray of the tooth done to find the cause of pain. If it is due to tooth infection then the tooth has to be treated with root canal treatment followed by a course of antibiotics and painkillers for permanent relief.

So, it is advisable to see an Endodontist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
