What Can be Done for Dental Pain?
  • Long-term Pain: If you have long term dental pain (days, weeks or longer), you should make an appointment for an accurate diagnosis and a treatment plan to deal with the problem.
  • Short-term Pain: For short term dental pain (sudden, sharp pain), the most effective over-the-counter medications seems to be ibuprofen (brand name example: Advil). Always be aware of possible allergic reactions and proper dosage, by reading all labels. Ask your pharmacist for details, or call us for further advice.
  • For New Patients: If you are not an active patient on record then you should call us to make a new-patient appointment. We cannot provide prescription medications to non-active patients.
