Suggest Treatment For Tooth Nerve Inflammation

I have significant dental pain. The dentist X-rayed the area and could not find any abscess or cavities and he thinks it is due to grinding my teeth at night. He made a night guard for me and said it might take several days to help relieve the pain. I'm wondering if there is inflammation involved (around the nerve) and if Relafen would be of some help.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain in the teeth or jaw can be because of either tooth infection or TMJ disorder nothing to be panic, consult a good oral physician and get it evaluated. If it is a tooth infection, you need to take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and get the tooth treated. If it is a jaw joint disorder then you can take piroxicam with a muscle relaxant like chlorzoxazone after consulting the physician(if you are not sensitive and allergic)
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
