Tylenol, (acetaminophen) Advil: Tylenol (acetaminophen) and other otc meds will help, but you should see your dentist because a toothache is a symptom of a deeper problem. Make sure you get an exam and x-ray to rule out an infection or broken tooth.

Dental treatment: Whatever you normally take to relieve the pain of a headache should also help to relieve a toothache. However, it may not work completely and certainly will not be a permanent solution. You need to see a dentist to determine the cause of the toothache and then suggest appropriate treatment.

See your dentist: Any pain medication or topical treatment (like anbesol ) is a short term "fix" but you need to see your dentist to thoroughly evaluate your mouth and determine the exact cause and work out a specific treatment plan.

Professional Rx: Lots of different things can cause tooth pain, and the remedies are specific. You really need to determine the cause and correct it rather than miserably trying one mediocre intervention after another. Fortunately many solutions are both quick and simple. See your dentist and be well :).

Advil/tylenol: Take 3 advil with 2 extra strength tylenol (acetaminophen) if there are no contraindications. This is the best otc pain relief combo for dental pain. See less.
