Thank you lady's so much. The only thing that helped last night was a bag of ice on my cheek. It was too late to run anywhere. I'll definitely go today and grab a few of these things you lady's listed because I know this won't be the last time for this toothache.  I'm not sure how Much it'll cost to have it pulled but I have to after my Lil mans here. Thank you lady's so much, very very helpful

Ok i had a broken tooth and trust me when i say its the wrost pain ever ... i went to walgreens and where all the oragel and there is a special little bottle that really and brown and it says red cross toothache and in little letters and the bottom says complete medication kit with natural eugenol ... it smells and kind taste like cloves but trust me it will numb really quick

Also..if you ever have used essential oils. Lavender is a great pain killer that is safe for pregnancy. You can get it at a health food store. Tylenol hasn't helped me for pain while pregnant just gives me heartburn so I use lavender essential oil. just put a couple drops of your finger and put it on your cheek next to the tooth that hurts. Sorry such a long of post!

Have you ever tried ground cloves and mix it with water and put that on your gums next to the tooth that hurts. My sister told me that trick when she was pregnant. It actually works! My husband tried it when he had a bad toothache. It'll numb your tooth so it don't hurt.

I just went through the same thing thanksgiving week and mines was due to a fine tiny piece of food that made its way bear my gum line under the tooth. Long story short, I used a dental pick to clean it like I do daily but this time I had to dig super tough and make my gum line bleed since I think bby it became infected.  Once I got the gum line to bleed I picked the area really good, brushed my teeth and gargled with non diluted peroxide, gave my mouth a hot water rinse and felt instant relief. While my mouth was better after that night, over the next two or three days I followed through with my normal floss, brush and gargle routine but for a few days I replaced the listerine with hot salt water.

I know that making the gum bleed sounds intense but I guarantee you'll feel instant relief after you get the gum to bleed and peroxide it.  In lieu of this fix, you may still want to contact your dentist because if you don't have a fine piece of something caught in your tooths gumline, you may need a root canal.

Best wishes!!

I'm due on Monday so there's no way I can be operated on, it hurts so bad! And my insurance doesn't cover dental :( I'm going crazy. I'll try warm salt water, hopefully that helps. Thank you ladys

It could be you need a root canal. I had that before. Nothing helped the pain because the nerve was dying. I wouldn't wait too long to get checked as you can form an abscess which is super painful and needs to be drained. Best of luck to you!

You probably need antibiotics for a tooth infection. Call your dentist.

Warm salt water, or swish with Listerine or even oragel until you can go to the dentist.  Check with your doc,  he may be able to help better.

You might have to go to the dentist if it doesnt stop hurting.
