We've had pretty good luck with Front Line keeping them off the dogs. As long as it's applied at the proper intervals. We weren't that dilligent with it---until my wife wound up in Cape Cod Hospital for 3 days last summer with babesiosis.
Most of the nasties are carried by deer ticks, not the common dog tick. But you might want to talk to your doctor about some antibiotics anyway, just to be on the safe side.
Tick bites itch a little but they shouldn't hurt like that--you might have left the head on you.
