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