We recommend taking Ibuprofen according to the directions on the bottle until you can see a dentist.
Try taking Advil or Aleve if you are having a toothache. But a bad toothache is usually a sign that something needs to be treated.
Nothing will completely take away a tooth ache, There is a reason your having a bad toothache, possible crack in the tooth, decay into the nerve of the tooth, old filling fell out, the nerve of the tooth is trying to die, tooth broke off are just a few reason.Make an appointment to see your dentist right away,I would advise not waiting until its hurts before you are seen and see your dentist every 6 month for regular check ups
Hello,

If you are experiencing pain, you may take over-the-counter pain medication! At your earliest convenience, you should visit a dentist.

Your best shot is to see a dentist and have an X-ray taken. That way a proper diagnosis can be made. If a dentist is not readily available, an over-the-counter pain medication can be of help alleviate the pain.

You should see a dentist to address the issue. It could be as simple as a cavity that needs to be filled or you may need a root canal or an extraction. The sooner you get it looked at, the better.

One Tylenol and one or two Advil...together. But you must see a dentist to take care of your teeth.
