Please advise if it's good ibuprofen tablet 400mg for infections for teeth?

Infection: Ibuprofen is not an antibiotic. You will need an antibiotic to help control the infection. Please see a local dentist for care.

Thats for pain: Ibuprofen is for pain and inflammation. It will not attack the infection. You need to be on an antibiotic prescribed by your dentist.
