I'm having a pain on my tooth. what helps with tooth pain until seeing dentist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not much: OTC pain Meds, especially Ibuprofen. Follow package directions to the letter. Ice nay help. Antibiotics may help. Call your Dentist for Rx. Remember these are only temporary solutions. Must see your Dentist ASAP for "cure."
