>This is ridiculous

It's somewhat true. The amount of paracetamol needed to reduce severe pain can cause many health problems, while a low dose of opiates would manage the pain. With opiates, prolonged use is more of an issue.

So an opiate would be the safer option while getting a tooth pulled, but Tylenol would be safer for the recovery period.
