Dental professionals, including dentists, are qualified to prescribe naproxen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), to their patients. Naproxen is commonly used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and lower fever.
Dentists may prescribe naproxen for various dental conditions, such as toothaches, gum pain, and post-operative discomfort following dental procedures. Naproxen's anti-inflammatory properties help reduce swelling and pain in the affected areas, providing relief to patients.
