I am going to get it looked at today. They said they weren't sure what they would be able to do while I was pregnant...so we'll see.
Get your appt moved up! Feel better.
How are you feeling ? We're you able to get your appointment moved up?
All they can do is prescribe an antibiotic and a pain killer, once the antibiotic kicks in the pain will subside, I've been through this and it take at least 2 days max 3 in the mean time take the pain killer as you need it but that's all the can do, it's the infection causing you pain.
You really need to get to a dentist ASAP. I know you have an appointment scheduled you really should call them on Monday and let them know you are in extreme pain and you are pregnant see if they can work you in or call you if they have a cancellation. You can try baking soda: 2 teaspoons in a half of glass of warm water stirred until baking soda is dissolved. Rinse your mouth out several times with the contents in the glass. Afterwards take a Q-tip wet the end and make a paste with the baking soda and use the q-tip and apply the baking soda to the tooth and in between the teeth surrounding the painful tooth. After about a minute rinse out your mouth. Repeat as needed. I would stay away from clove oil as there are mixed reviews on they safety as it can cause contractions. Good luck.
Hi my name is sakacey and i am a dentist assistant. The hospital did the right thing by giving you the amoxicilin for the infection until you get to the dentist but Im sorry but that is really all that can be done until your appointment. When the infection starts to go away the pain will stop. The dentist will pull the infected to at your visit because you already have antibiotics in your system so hang in there!!
Popsicles. The kind wrapped in plastic. They are the perfect size and shape to slip between your cheek and gums as an ice pack to help numb it. Also an old trick is to get some real vanilla. Put a bit on a cotton ball and place on the broken tooth to kill the nerve. Just don't use a lot of the vanilla because it does contain alcohol. Hope these help. I know it's not fun. :(
