Question 1

what works best for a tooth ache?

Accepted Answer

Going to a dentist: See a dentist ASAP for your toothache.  In the meantime OTC pain meds can help.  Avoid chewing on the tooth that is painful.   The longer you wait to see a dentist the more pain you will experience, the more complex and expensive treatment can be.

Question 2

what is the best thing for a tooth ache?

Accepted Answer

A dentist: Short term, you should take an over the counter anti inflammatory and analgesic such as advil (ibuprofen). You can also alternate Ibuprofen and tylenol (acetaminophen) about every 3 hours. You have to see a dentist to determine the cause of the toothache and treat the cavity or whatever is causing the tooth to ache. A toothache means there is probably decay requiring a filling or root canal.

Question 3

Colby's Toothache: Colby needs to be taken to a pediatric dentist to have that problematic tooth examined and treated. It would be a great idea to have the rest of his mouth checked, too.

Question 4

tooth ache after cavity filling?

Accepted Answer

Dentist can recheck: A dentist can re-evaluate a tooth if there is pain after a cavity filling. The dentist can see if there is an infection or some other reason for the pain. An endodontist can check for problems with the root of the tooth, and give an opinion on whether a root canal is needed. Meanwhile, the pain medicine recommended by one's dentist, or over-the-counter pain medicine, can help with the ache.

Question 5

can ciprofloxacin hcl work for tooth ache?

Accepted Answer

probably not: Cipro (ciprofloxacin) is not normally used for toothache relief. If there is an infection, an exam by a dentist is necessary to evaluate and diagnose. There are better antibiotics to use.  Do not self medicate with antibiotics used for other conditions.

Question 8

can cephalexin antiboic be used for a tooth ache?

Accepted Answer

Antibiotics: Antibiotics are for infections. You assume you have an infection, but you don't really know. Even if you did, the antibiotics only take care of the symptom(s), they don't fix the problem. Make an appointment with a local dentist to be treated rather than self medicating... You'll be better off in the long run.

Question 9

can you take cipro (ciprofloxacin) for a tooth ache?

Accepted Answer

If you need it..: Cipro (ciprofloxacin) is an antibiotic and could be used for a toothache, like any other antibiotic.
But...Do you need the antibiotic.  If you just have a hole that is causing pain then you just need to get the hole fixed.  The problem that people are having today is that many docs used to just give antibiotics for any reason.  Now people are getting poorer results when they are needed.  Choose your useage  wisely.
