See Dentist: The Motrin only addresses the pain (and temporarily), not the problem. It is suspicious that you may have a tooth in need of root canal at worst, or at least a filling. You need to go to your dentist or a dental clinic for evaluation and care.

See a dentist: Pain is your body's way of warning you there is a problem that needs to be addressed. Using medication to mask the pain so you can ignore your body's warnings is not wise. This just leads to serious and unmanageable pain in the future. Go see a dentist now so the problem can be fixed before it becomes a serious health issue.
