You need to see a dentist if you have decay in the tooth.  The infection it can put into your bloodstream is dangerous to the baby.  It is not uncommon at all for a pregnant woman to go to the dentist.

I was 30 weeks when I went. I got an ok from my obgyn. Ended up getting a filling. The dentist did require a form from my doctor stating what was acceptable forms of treatment. It made a world of difference getting it fixed! :-)

You can go to the dentist at 31 weeks as long as your OB clears it. You can take Tylenol and use hot and cold packs on your face for the pain.
