Yes: Cause its too much of the mild pain reliever you need to see your dentist asap and call your doctor for stronger pain pills like norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen).

Fily practice : You would be ok you can safely take 4000 mg of tylenol (acetaminophen) or 3200 mg of Ibuprofen per day. You may have a tooth abscess and should see a dentist.

See a dentist: As long as you are not allergic to advil or tylenol, you are ok so far. Here is what i recommend for my patients: take 4 advil (which is 800mg of ibuprofen), then 3 hours later take 2 extra-strength tylenol (which is 1000mg acetaminophen), then 3 hours later 4 advil, then 3 hours later 2 es tylenol, and continue this regimen until you are seen, but no longer than 10 days. Go see a dentist asap.
