For a deep tooth cavity, medication cannot cure the decay; you must see a dentist for professional treatment like a filling, root canal, or extraction. To manage temporary pain and inflammation, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as Ibuprofen (400 mg) or Acetaminophen (500 mg), provided you have no contraindications. Rinsing your mouth with warm salt water can also help keep the area clean. Please avoid placing aspirin tablets directly against your gums, as this can cause chemical burns. Schedule a dental appointment promptly to prevent the cavity from developing into a serious infection or abscess.
