What can I take for tooth pain?

For dental pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Make sure to follow the instructions on the packaging and consult a healthcare professional if you have any concerns about taking these medications. Additionally, applying a cold compress to the outside of your cheek near the painful tooth may also help reduce inflammation and numb the area. If the pain persists, it is advisable to see a dentist for further evaluation and treatment.
