Toothache remedies?!


Question:

Toothache remedies?

so, he's had a toothache since Saturday, can't get to the dentist until Thursday, what can he do in between now and then to alleviate some of his pain?


Answers:

As a dentist myself I always recommend Motrin (Ibuprofen), this is the best Over The Counter pain reliever as it will not only help with pain but will also help with inflammation. I usually recommend that my patients take between 600-800mg for ages over 18. Also try an ice pack, this will help numb the area affected and help with inflammation as well. If the pain becomes severe you may want to consider calling your dentists emergency number for advice or to have him/her call you in a narcotic pain medication. Good luck and feel better soon
