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.
