Can I take over-the-counter medication for a toothache?

Dentist answers

Over-the-counter pain medication like ibuprofen can provide temporary relief from a toothache but should not replace a dental consultation. Prolonged use of such medication without addressing the root cause can lead to more serious issues. At Royal Dental Whittier, we aim to diagnose and treat the source of the problem rather than just manage symptoms.
