Is It Compulsory To Take NSAIDS After A Dental Procedure?
I just had a tooth prepped for a crown. No pain. I do not like to take NSAIDS My dentist suggested I take 2 now and 2 6 hours later to help reduce inflammation. Is not my body capable of doing that on its own and wouldn t the NSAIDS inhibit the body s natural healing processes?

Hi
The imfamation needs to be reduced to hasten proper healing . though you are right that your body has its own mechanism to heal but a healthier envoirnment fastens body healing process . since even instrumentation and high speed aerotars used for crown cutting are forms of external irritation a mild dose of NSAID has been corrrectly prescribed by your dentist to negate the summative effect of all procedures as well as the imfamation present before the procedure . rest be assured just two doses will have more benefits than do any harm . Take care
