Tooth pain is killer! I've been there. Usually, for adults, 400mg every 4-6 hours is common, but don't exceed 1200mg in 24 hours. This is just general info; really, a dentist is who you should see for the root cause and proper dosage.

Honestly, don't just focus on the ibuprofen dosage. I ignored my tooth pain once, just took painkillers, and it got much worse. Please see a dentist ASAP. The pain relief is temporary, the underlying issue needs to be checked.
