No: The maximum effective dose is 550mg. Cutting a 375mg pill in half and taking a 375mg tab would give you a dose of 560mg.

Probably ok: Naproxen sodium is dosed at 500mg initially and then can be repeated every 12 hours as needed for pain control. Don't exceed the manufacture label of dosing because of potential side effects. Trial 375mg then repeat in 8-12 hours if needed for your toothache.
