Hi there,
The answer to your question is yes, over-the-counter Ibuprofen or Tylenol would be the best pain medications for tooth pain, especially ibuprofen. I would recommend taking 600-800 mg every 6-8 hours, respectively until you visit your dental provider. However, please seek care as soon as possible because pain on teeth usually come from infection/cavity and then when the cavity gets big enough then it reaches the nerve and the nerve starts reacting to the infection present and the excruciating pain and discomfort come from that. Therefore, dealing with the source of infection should be essential. Also, because you still feel pain, your nerve on that tooth is still fighting and alive, but the longer the infection stays, the more possibility for the nerve to give up and die.
I hope this helps,
Dr. Azari
