See Dentist: Take 1 regular Aspirin + 1 regular tylenol (acetaminophen) and get to the dentist asap to be treated.

No: That dosage is a little high. Try to wait 6-8 hours between 600 mg dosages.

Take DDS advice: You should be seeing a dentist if you have a toothache. He or she will recommend what to take, dosage and frequency. Everyone is different and different medications work differently for each person.
