For temporary relief from tooth pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers. Ibuprofen is highly effective at reducing inflammation, while acetaminophen (paracetamol) is a good alternative for pain relief. Please take them according to the package instructions. Rinsing your mouth with warm salt water and applying a cold compress to your cheek can also help soothe the discomfort. Avoid very hot, cold, or hard foods. Please remember these are temporary measures. It is important to see a dentist as soon as possible to find and treat the underlying cause of the pain, such as a cavity or infection, safely.
