Dental Pain Management for Temporary Relief

Over-the-counter pain relievers like Ibuprofen (Advil) and Acetaminophen (Tylenol) can help manage pain and reduce inflammation. We recommend alternating between the two for optimal relief:

  1. Start with 600mg of Ibuprofen
  2. After 3 hours, take 650mg of Acetaminophen
  3. After 4 hours, take 600mg of Ibuprofen
  4. Repeat steps 1-3 as necessary.

*Do not take it if you are allergic to any Ibuprofen, aspirin or Tylenol products.
*Do not combine with any products over the counter that may contain acetaminophen.
*Maximum daily dose for Tylenol is 3250mg.
*Maximum daily dose for ibuprofen is 2400mg.        

Note: This pain management regimen is intended for temporary relief only and should not replace professional dental treatment or prescribed medications, including antibiotics. Always follow your dentist’s instructions and contact them if you have any concerns about your pain or recovery process.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call the office.
