Avoid chewing on that side. Try clove oil and water.  Drink lot of water. Room temp is best.

In Houston, if your in your 2nd trimester they can but 1st &3rd they can't do much, if u need a root canal and extraction they may want to do it after the baby, but at least you will know what u need if u go to the dentist and what medicine u need to at least clear the infection, if u have one, most likely u do because your in pain. Good luck I hope u find or have a good dentist to take care of u. Toothaches are horrible especially your pregnant the pain can get even hurt more

Im in Tx and If your in your 2nd trimester they can take an xray, call your OB ahead of time, the dentist may need a letter confirming it's ok to take an xray,  now in days everything is digital, no radiation, if so very minor where your protected with a lead apron they may put 2 aprons just to be on the safe side

There's no dentist here that will do an xray if you're pregnant. I'm in texas. It's hard to get any dental work done when you're pregnant besides exam and regular cleaning

If its throbbing pain and it comes and goes u may need a root canal and have a really bad cavity, try to see your dentist,  most dentist do free exam and xray, and if your pregnant with all the changes with your body takes a hard hit on your teeth too. Warm salt water helps kill bacteria but not the pain. Once u go to the dentist there's probably so much they can do esp. If your in your 1st trimester,  u also may need antibiotics
