Examination importan: Over the counter ibuprophen will provide temporary relief. But you need a complete dental exam so you can find a solution for chronic pain. There are many causes for dental pain too complex for this forum so get a good dental exam and find an answer to your pain problem.

See your dentist : I think you should visit your dentist and let him evaluate you and try to get to a diagnosis for you chronic tooth pain, as it may be non dental related.

Pain: Where is the pain?-is it keeping you awake at night? Does it occur when you chew or bite hard things?- start with Ibuprofen 400mg to see if it helps -you should see a dentist asap.

Dental pain: If you have chronic dental pain that requires pain meds, then you have a underlying problem that needs to be addressed. You need to see a dentist for an exam and figure out what your problem is.

Treat the cause: Pain meds will not solve your problems. Please see a local dentist for definitive care and you won't have to be in pain or worry about meds.

Call 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. See your dentist ASAP.
