Is there any medication you can give a cat for teeth pain?

What kind of pain exactly? From a broken tooth? Or general rotten teeth? If your cat has dental pain you can't just bung painkillers at him, he needs dental work from a vet!





If you already planning to take him to a vet and are looking for something to help in the meantime, as I said feline painkillers are prescription only. You can try any stuff you might find in a pet shop - it's all general sales stuff so should be harmless anyway (although petshop flea treatment isn't actually).





Even the human 'toothache kits' you can buy specifically say they are only temporary measures until you can get medical attention.

if he likes garlic, give him some. Garlic oil is one of the best remedies for tooth pain.


You should also know that tooth pain in a cat may be a sign of dental disease, which left untreated can lead to death. I'd recommend you to take it to a vet as soon as you can for a teeth check-up.
Reply:You could give it a little childrens Tylenol. You could also rub a bit of Oragel, Numbsit or something of that sort on the kitties gums. I've heard that pure vanilla extract rubbed on the gums will numb them a bit.
Reply:Your cat has tooth pain because of oral infection or injury, and giving him something to sooth it will only allow you to ignore the problem further. Have your cat's teeth cleaned.





Do NOT give your cat Tylenol, or any pain medication labeled for humans. It is toxic to felines and canines.
Reply:NEVER, NEVER, NEVER GIVE YOUR CAT TYLENOL!!!





It is EXTREMELY toxic to cats. It will send your cat into liver failure that it will have a very slim chance of living through!!! Ask ANY reputable vet!!





The best thing for pain relief is anything you can get from your vet. The best thing for your cat's dental health is for you to get it to a vet and have a dental cleaning done.
