Question: will naproxen help a toothache?
Answer: Typically physicians prescribe naproxen for swelling associated with menstrual cramps, bursitis, gout, arthritis, tendinitis, or ankylosing spondylitis. It can work on dental pain as well, to some degree. Note, if you have a history of allergic reactions to aspirin or other NSAIDs you should not use naproxen.
