Can I take ibuprofen before the dentist? is a common question asked by patients. Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is used to relieve pain, fever, and inflammation. It is available over-the-counter in both tablet and liquid form.
Ibuprofen can be taken before dental procedures to help reduce pain and inflammation. It is important to note that ibuprofen should not be taken if you are allergic to it or if you have a history of stomach ulcers or bleeding. Ibuprofen can also interact with other medications, so it is important to tell your doctor about all of the medications you are taking.
