OTC toothache pain relief??
As a dentist myself I always recommend Motrin (Ibuprofen), this is the best Over The Counter pain reliever as it will not only help with pain but will also help with inflammation. I usually recommend that my patients take between 600-800mg for ages over 18. Also try an ice pack, this will help numb the area affected and help with inflammation as well. An oral anesthetic like Orajel will also help numb the area. If the pain becomes severe you may want to consider calling your dentists emergency number for advice or to have him/her call you in a narcotic pain medication. Good luck and feel better soon
Reply:Take about 3 or 4 ibeuprofens...depending on your age.


You can rub some of the tooth gel medicine if you have any.


Also a warm towel up to your cheek might help.


Good luck
Reply:Orajel or Anbesol, and avoid any very cold or very hot foods/drinks.
