A member asked:

Can i double or triple 200mg of ibuprofen for tooth pain.

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Contact DDS: See your dentist for a clinical and radiographic examination and address the dental pain. Pain medication will only work on a temporary basis until the problem is addressed.

Tooth pain: Usually caused by infection. Will not self-heal. Pain killers will not cure, only temporarily mask the symptoms. Please see a Dentist for appropriate effective treatment,.
