Dental Pain

What You Need to Know About Dental Pain
Dental Pain can be a result of tooth decay or gum disease. While a visit to the dentist is recommended to find the cause of an ache, temporary relief can often come from over the counter analgesics, such as Advil. In fact, Advil Liquid Capsules are proven to be more effective than paracetamol tablets in relieving moderate to severe dental pain15.

General Dental Pain Symptoms
You may experience pain when drinking hot or cold drinks, or maybe when eating sweet snacks. Your teeth can become sensitive when you bite or chew food. Dental pain can strike in the middle of the night and wake you up from your sleep. Remember, Advil can help relieve the pain, where inflammation is present, caused from dental pain until you consult your dentist.

How to Avoid a Toothache

  • Keeping your teeth and gums healthy will assist in the prevention of gum diseases and tooth decay
  • Brushing and flossing at least twice a day is recommended
  • Using a good antibacterial mouthwash will also help reduce plaque from forming on your teeth
  • Remember to visit your dentist for regular six monthly check ups
