Tooth Pain: Where is iit- r/l top / bottom. How long does the pain last ie- short, long, throbbing? Does it come and go? What brings it on - chewing? , hot ? Cold?- we need a little more infor to help you. Motrin or Ibuprofen can often help with tooth pain 400-600mg 3- 4 times a day.

Visit your dentist: Any other treatment is a temporary relief. A tooth pain won't go away without treatment and the infection may spread to your jaw, cheeks, sinus and to other areas of your head and neck. See your dentist ASAP.
