Yes: That combination is fine but you must take care of the cause of the pain by having it treated by your dentist.

See a dentist: As long as you are not allergic to advil or tylenol, you are ok to do so. 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.

Yes: It's best to alternate every two hours and not take all the medication at once. This regiment should only be done for 1 or 2 days at most. Prolonged usage at these levels will cause stomach upset, liver and kidney issues.

Yes: Combining ibuprofren(advil) and tylenol (acetaminophen) is a very effective way to manage pain without using a narcotic. Both work differently in pain management and are metabolised differently so using both is not contraindicated.

Tylenol (acetaminophen): Yes, unless u have stomach problems. Would not recommend more than every 8 hours as needed. Also, talk to your doctor.
