Can ibuprofen 600 mg helps toothache?
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Temporarily: Ibuprofen will temporarily relieve the intensity of the pain but it will not treat the cause. See a dentist for a complete diagnosis and treatment.

Yes: Ibuprofen is frequently used to control pain associated with dental work. It does not cure the problem, only gives symptomatic relief by reducing or controlling swelling. Excessive use can lead to stomach or kidney problems.

Yes: I agree with the colleagues, it helps but it does not cure anything. Visit your dentist asap.
