I have cavity pain and discomfort from a new tooth growing, what medicine should I take?

Asked by Female, 19 · 2 months ago

For temporary relief from cavity pain and a growing tooth (likely a wisdom tooth), you can take over-the-counter Ibuprofen (400 mg with food) to target both pain and inflammation, or Acetaminophen. Rinsing your mouth with warm salt water 3-4 times a day will soothe the gums and keep the area clean. You can also apply an oral anesthetic gel containing benzocaine to the sore areas. Please note these are temporary measures. You must see a dentist promptly to treat the cavity and evaluate the growing tooth, as it may be impacted or require extraction.
