Evidence-based clinical practice guideline for the pharmacologic management of acute dental pain in children: A report from the American Dental Association Science and Research Institute, the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine, and the Center for Integrative Global Oral Health at the University of Pennsylvania
Conclusions and practical implications:
Nonopioid medications, specifically nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs like ibuprofen and naproxen alone or in combination with
acetaminophen, are recommended for managing acute dental pain after 1 or
more tooth extractions (that is, simple and surgical) and the temporary
management of toothache in children (conditional recommendation, very
low certainty). According to the US Food and Drug Administration, the
use of codeine and tramadol in children for managing acute pain is
contraindicated. (Source: Dental Technology Blog)
