I have severe pain in my molar tooth and it feels like the roots are exposed. What medicine should I take for relief?

Asked by Female, 34 · 2 days ago

For temporary relief from severe molar pain, you can take over-the-counter Ibuprofen (400mg every 4 to 6 hours with food) to reduce inflammation, or Acetaminophen if you cannot take NSAIDs. Applying a topical numbing gel (like Orajel) or rinsing with warm salt water can also soothe the area. Avoid extremely hot, cold, or sweet foods, and never place aspirin directly on your gums. Because severe pain and suspected exposed roots indicate potential nerve involvement or infection, these measures are only temporary. You must see a dentist promptly for definitive treatment, such as a filling, crown, or root canal.
