Accepted Answer

Be persistent: Ibuprofen can be dangerous when taken in large doses, prolonged times or more frequently than every 6-8 hours. it can cause kidney damage, stomach ulcers and stroke. Follow up with your Dr and let them know that the ibuprofen is not managing the problem. Ask for a referral to a gynecologist who can do some testing and imaging to determine the extent of your disease and suggest treatment.

Wrong approach: ibuprofen (or any other analgesic) will not cure a toothache, only temporarily block pain sensation transfer as the infection spreads to other organ systems. See your Dentist to treat the cause of the infection and to balance your meds.
You didn't provide your BP levels. If required Dentist will communicate w your Cardiologist to address your questions. Don't try to self medicate.
