you can take orajel. or if your not comfortable with that you can rinse your mouth with salt and water but be sure not to swallow it.
Reply:Does your doctor allow you to take Tylenol? If so, I would take that every 6hrs...or whatever the bottle recommends.
Reply:You can use anbesol or orajel. If it is a cavity you could try an OTC temporary filling.
Reply:go get some baby orajel - you know, the kind for teething. you could get regular, but im not sure if that has medication in it.





medicine is a no-no in pregnancy :)
Reply:try orgel if you have it if not go to Walmart or Kroger for it. Also try rinsing your mouth out with perixode that will help the infection and bring down the pain. Then use an ice pack.





So sorry what a miserable feeling. I pray you get better!
Reply:my geuss would be to rub some whiskey or scotch on it! you would not need alot just a bit on your finger
Reply:You could try some tylenol. Also take a look at the following site and possibly try the clove oil home remedy... Best of luck, hope you get some sleep.
Reply:Cloves could be your answer. Either whole cloves, clove oil or even the dried clove powder in your baking cupboard. Use a q-tip and swab it on the area it should numb it for you.
Reply:Anbesol or baby orajel right in the tooth. Sometimes in the pharmacy they have benzocaine swabs to use on mouth sores--those work well. You can take 1000 mg of tylenol every 4 hours. Or if you have oil of cloves, you can try that.

Reply:pinch your skin between your thumb and index finger it causes pain to travel there instead of your tooth
Reply:WHEN I WAS PREGNANT THE DOCTOR SAID I COULD TAKE A TYLENOL 200MG NO MORE THAN 3 TIMES A DAY I GUESS EVERY 5- 6 HOURS WHEN I HAD MY TOOTH ACHE
Reply:I had frequent toothaches while pregnant. I used a brick of ICE on the side that hurt until I was numb. I took two tylenols for the pain. I then saw a dentist and they gave me antibiotics for my infection which were safe to use. I wish you luck! P.S. Baby is now a normal 2 year old!


NO TYLENOL PM OR EXTRA STRENGTH...
Reply:I am a dental hygienist. No Tylenol Pm, just regular Tylenol. So you may have no choice but to get some regular or send someone else. Call your dentist ASAP in the morning, you could have an infection. Antibiotics are safe and they probably will require you to take an xray. Let them take one of only the tooth bothering you and make sure you wear a lead apron. Infections can be very dangerous to you and your baby. Also, if they have to do any work, it is usually safe after the 1st trimester. Just get a clearance from your OB about what types of anesthetic they can use. I hope you feel better soon.
