What is a best way to get rid of a toothache?
To completely get rid of a toothache, you’re going to have to see a dentist. For temporarily relief at home before you can see a dentist the best thing you can do is take 800 mg of Ibuprofen which is prescription strength. You can take this every 6-8 hours as needed for pain. It has an anti-inflammatory in it which will calm the nerve of the tooth… which is why your tooth is hurting… the nerve is infected and inflamed. For this reason, Ibuprofen is going to work better than Tylenol and aspirin. Do make sure to see a dentist as soon as possible for treatment as you will need an antibiotic if your tooth is infected. Left untreated, the infection could spread to other areas of your body causing further complications.
