Can you take naproxen for tooth pain?

I had a bad wisdom tooth pain last month and used naproxen for the inflammation. It definitely helps with the throbbing, but it's only a temporary fix. Make sure to book a dentist appointment because you might need a filling or clean up.

Naproxen is quite cheap and helps with toothache, but if there is an infection, you will eventually need an X-ray and proper dental treatment. Plan a visit to a local government hospital dental OPD to save on high private clinic costs.

I have PCOS and have to be very careful with NSAIDs like naproxen because they can sometimes affect ovulation cycles. While it is good for acute pain, check with your doctor first if you have any hormonal or stomach lining issues.

Yes, naproxen is an anti-inflammatory and works well for dental pain. However, don't rely on it for more than a day or two as it can cause acidity. Get a quick dental consultation over the weekend and fix the root cause.

For tooth pain, holding a clove or applying a tiny drop of clove oil near the tooth can provide gentle relief naturally. Naproxen can be hard on the stomach, so if you must take it, do so after a proper meal and consult your doctor.
