Paracetamol Syrup in Dental Treatment

Why this medicine is prescribed

Paracetamol syrup is a painkiller in a form made for children.

This medicine relieves pain. It does not reduce inflammation or swelling — that is the action of a different group of painkillers. Giving it at the times you were told, rather than waiting until your child is in severe pain, keeps discomfort steadier during the first days after treatment.

Medication manages what your child feels. It does not remove the cause of the problem — a tooth that needs treatment still needs treatment.

Which dental procedures it is prescribed for

• Tooth Extraction / Swelling and Infection / Root Canal Treatment for Children — Pediatric Dentistry

If your child will not take the medicine, or if you are unsure how much to give, please contact the clinic before skipping a dose or estimating the amount yourself.
