800 mg IBU: 800 mg or 4 x 200 mg Advil (ibuprofen) I have found is the most effective form of pain relief if no antibiotics and pain Neds are available. Be sure to take 3 tabs with food every 8 hours.

Stop aspirin: Stop the medications with aspirin or ibuprofen or aleve (naproxen) since this may cause more bruising and bleeding prior to your dental appointment. Always get dental care when it is severe enough to miss work.

Visit a dentist ASAP: 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. Visit a dentist ASAP for definitive diagnosis and treatment.
