well you would have to see how you feel after you get your teeth out and after you take the meds.

look on the bottle and see what the dosage is. it should say something like 5/500mg. that means it has 5mg of vicodin and 500mg of acetaminophen in each pill. the usual dosage is one 5/500mg vicodin every four to six hours. they also make 7.5/750mg and 10/660mg vicodins and they give them to you depending on your situation and how much pain relief you need. so if you have been given 5/500mg pills you can always double them up if one doesnt work and still be on the safe side.

but as for asking for something stronger... just wait and see if it works first, then ask if you can take more or switch.
