What is an appropriate prescription for moderate dental pain?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Acetaminophen 325 mg + Ibuprofen 400 mg combination
Acetaminophen + Ibuprofen combination Evidence-based dental pain management strongly supports combination acetaminophen + ibuprofen as first-line — it is superior to opioid monotherapy for most acute dental pain. Dosing: acetaminophen 325–650 mg + ibuprofen 400 mg every 4–6 hours. Opioids are reserved for refractory severe pain.
