Ulcer: From a study from the American Journal of Epidemiology the use of NSAID (Ibupofen) and aspirin were associated with increased risk of recurrent bleeding ulcers in a population of patients, but not acetaminophen. Given your tooth pain acetaminophen reasonable to take for pain. Given tooth pain topical benzocaine or benadryl can help relieve tooth pain and lessen need for oral agent.
