It should: Very often the 800 mg of ibuprofen is enough to control most types of pain. You can take that every 8 hours as needed.

800 mg can help: If you have a severe toothache, seek immediate help from your dentist before the problem becomes worse and more complicated. Remember, toothache pain will not go away on its own. Ibuprofen 800 mg can help relieve the pain, where inflammation is present, caused from dental pain until you consult your dentist.

Probably: But without treatment, the pain will soon be unbearable. No amount of pain meds will work. Why wait and suffer? Call a dentist today and feel better soon...

Yes, but: In place of, not in addition to, will partially block the pain but will not cure the infection causing the pain. Spreading infection can be very dangerous, even life threatening, and will soon overcome the effectiveness of the pain Meds. Know also that at that level of medication you should not be driving a car.
