Acute dental pain is a common clinical problem that may occur because of dental disease or following procedures such as tooth extraction^[1][2]. The intensity and duration of pain can vary depending on the underlying condition and the type of dental procedure involved. Effective pain control is an important part of acute dental care, particularly during the period before definitive treatment or while managing postoperative pain. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), with or without acetaminophen, are recommended as first-line options for acute dental pain following tooth extraction and for the temporary management of toothache when definitive dental treatment is not immediately available^[1]. The combination of ibuprofen and acetaminophen has demonstrated substantial analgesic benefit in adults with acute dental pain^[2]. Analgesic selection should also account for individual patient factors and the potential for adverse effects. Opioid-containing medications can provide pain relief but have been associated with acute adverse events such as dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, and vomiting^[1][2]. Local anesthetics may also contribute to pain control during dental procedures and in the immediate postoperative period^[1]. Since analgesics primarily control pain rather than remove its dental cause, appropriate dental evaluation and definitive treatment remain important components of managing acute dental pain^[1].
