Specializes in Pain Management

See a dentist: The OTC painkillers may provide some relief until you can get to your dentist. Tooth pain is caused when the nerve root of a tooth is irritated by infection, decay or trauma. The good news is the prognosis is good with appropriate dental care. Remember, toothache pain will not go away on its own.

OTC Pain meds: They will help you for the short run until you can get to see a dentist. The longer you wait the more problematic your condition will become.
