Is Motrin Likely To Help Tooth And Gum Pain?

Pain in gum of upper right tooth-feels deeper than tooth-beyond the gum. Had a deep cleaning done Friday, and the throbbing lessened because they cleaned out infection, but why is it burning again? The tooth is fine-no decay-but deep in there, it is hurting like a bee sting. Motrin does not make it go away, but makes it feel better. I think they will send me to a specialist after this, they said. They can not see anything on the x-rays. What could this be?

Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
It can be possible that because of deep cleaning of tooth, now there might be some lacerations on the gums, which is causing this throbbing.
So better that you should start with applying gum gel on gums and even gargling with mouthwashes.
Hope it will help you.
