Question and answer

Best medicine for toothache in india

Tooth pain medicine depends on the cause; pain relief can help temporarily, but decay, infection, cracks, or gum disease need dental treatment.

The short answer

Toothache comes from irritation of the pulp, periodontal ligament, exposed dentin, or surrounding gum. A painkiller may reduce symptoms without removing the cause.
