What medication can i take?

Dentist can check: A dentist can evaluate a tooth to see if there is an infection or some other reason for the pain. If infected, antibiotics may help while awaiting a dental work. If needed, an endodontist can check for problems with the root of the tooth and tell if a root canal is needed. Meanwhile, the pain medicine recommended by one's dentist, or non-prescription pain medicine, can temporarily decrease pain.

For what?: If you have a painful tooth most common cause is infection. Prescription antibiotics may slow spread of infection, but will not cure it. OTC pain killers, taken exactly as per package directions, may numb a portion of the pain until you see a Dentist for definitive treatment. Please get the help that you need.
