Hi I Am Wondering If It Is Safe To Use
Question: Hi I am wondering if it is Safe to use triple medicated fast acting gel for a toothache
Brief Answer:
It is safe
Detailed Answer:
Hello, I'm Dr. Branch, thanks for using 'Ask a Doctor'. That medication would be safe to use for a toothache, as it is made specifically for that purpose, and so would be safe when applied to the gums and area that you have pain. I would also suggest seeing a dentist to address the cause of the toothache, and if the toothache gets worse or you develop a fever, so see a dentist or doctor as soon as possible to be started on antibiotics before a dentist can treat the infection definitively.
I hope that helps, please let me know if you have any other questions about that, and I would be glad to discuss it with you further.
