  • Can I take pain medicine for tooth pain?

    If you are having very bad pain, you can take over-the-counter pain meds which you are not allergic to and if you don't have any other underlying medical issues and are not taking any other over-the-counter pain meds (only for a short relief of pain, just like any other pains). Call your dentist as soon as possible so they can take an X-ray and diagnose and treat the problem. I hope you will take care of your pain as soon as possible. Take care. READ MORE
