Can you take advil and tylenol (acetaminophen) together for a toothache?

Ask your dentist!: It is common to take these two medications either together , or alternating them, for oral pain. There are several studies that suggest the combination of tylenol (acetaminophen) and advil is more effective than prescription medications. Be careful on the dose and don't take too much in a 24 hour period. The best idea is to get to your dentist asap to get the problem corrected!

Yes: This combination works quite well. You should check with your physician before starting any medicine, but under normal circumstances, 600 mg advil taken with up to 700 mg tylenol (acetaminophen) 4x per day can be effective for mild or moderate pain. Be sure not to exceed the daily maximum of either one of these medications. 2400 mg of advil and 2800 milligrams of tylenol (acetaminophen) for a 24 hr period is the max.

Toothache: Pain usually signifies spreading infection. Advil + Tylenol, one of each, may take the edge off until you get to a Dentist for definitive treatment. Dulling the pain will not cure an infection. So do 2 things. First, take 1Advil + 1 Tylenol. Second, call your Dentist for an appointment. If you don't have one, try Dr. Damian Dachowski.
