"I have a toothache and I have a shooting pain after a cavity filling. What should I do?"

If you are experiencing tooth pain and a sharp pain after having a cavity repaired, it is best to contact your dentist for further advice. In the meantime, you can try taking Advil™ to reduce inflammation, or Aleve™ if Advil is not effective. These medications are available over the counter at the pharmacy.
