Does Ibuprofen 600mg Help Tooth Pain?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

For temporary relief, you can take ibuprofen 600mg twice daily, but it's important to not rely on this as a long-term solution. It's crucial to address the underlying cause of your tooth pain, which could be due to decay, infection, or another dental issue. I recommend avoiding hot, cold, or sugary foods and maintaining good oral hygiene until you can see your dentist. They can provide a proper diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment, which may include a filling, root canal therapy, or extraction, depending on the severity of the problem.

Thanks
