Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Well it looks like Irreversible Pulpitis due to deep infection in the tooth causing
nerve exposure..

Ibuprofen or any other painkiller can provide temporary relief only but for permanent resolution you need to get the tooth treated..

Gabapantin is not suitable for dental pain and if pain is severe you can take Ketorolac or narcotic painkiller like Tramadol..

For permanent resolution you should get an x ray of the tooth done and if tooth can be saved root canal treatment can be done or else extraction is advisable..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
