opinion of patients

According to reviews, Ibuprofen toothache helps very well. And if you combine it with the use of the popular ways to eliminate such pain, then a visit to the dentist can safely postpone for a while. Also, many have noted that the drug is good because it has at any pharmacy, and has a reasonable cost, and there are release forms which are suitable for even the kiddies.

At the same time, patients have noted that it is not always Ibuprofen acts quickly. Sometimes you have to wait for almost 50 minutes until relief comes. Ibuprofen does not eliminate the root of the problem, but only lubricates the symptoms that also can not be attributed to the pluses.

The drug is not a cure. If toothache became smaller or disappeared completely, then this is not to say that the problem itself has been eliminated. Often this is an indication that the acute process moved into a chronic stage and tooth care is in a sorry state. Ibuprofen helps temporarily and is not exempt from an unwanted trip to the dentist.
