Ibuprofen is good for toothache. Hope it is not so painful come tomorrow.

mycindil (not sure of spelling) is the best thing for dental pain. can be bought over the counter at a pharmacy. But my normal reccomendation is nureofen and panadol at the same time to get better and longer pain relief.

Hey there!

Dental nurse here... What they have done it to use electrosurge - that means they remove the excess gum tissue from where perhaps you had a broken bit of tooth and the gum managed to grow into the space. The electrosurg is great! there is almost no bleeding and it is fast and shouldnt give you to much pain at all.... They wouldn't have known that it was needed to be done untill they had done the prep. They still should have explained it better to you at the time though

Good luck with it all!
