I ve got a significant toothache that resulted from just having crowns installed. One of the caps, which needed adjusting, caused undue pressure on one of the teeth, which resulted in inflammation. This inflammation has resulted in significant pain. The dentist corrected the imbalance yesterday, but I have just been taking Advil and Tylenol for the pain, which unexpectedly has gotten worse. Until I see the dentist again tomorrow, can I take a 15 mg. tablet of Meloxicam tonight, having taken 500 mg of Advil and Tylenol earlier today? Thanks.
Hi. Thanks for the query. If there are high points in the cap then it is definitely going to cause you pain as it causes premature contact with opposite tooth, and it can further lead to injury below root tips that can lead to pain. Painkillers can give you temporary relief and if Advil and Tylenol is giving you pain relief then you need not take any other painkillers. But in case if pain is not relieved you can take Meloxicam or even Motorola is helpful in severe dental pain. But as these are prescription Chat Doctor. . Hope this helps. Regards.
