Toothache! what can I do!?

[Treksy]

Tylenol isnt touching it ...
Its so strange I didnt do anything to it... but it just hurts! Radiates through my lower jaw.. nothing can touch it. It comes and goes but right now its just awful...
Im almost 30 weeks. I read ibuprofen is ok during 1st &2nd trimester... does me no good now! Lol
Any one have any suggestions for Safe things to do/take while pregnant?

I have the same problem. The pain went to my ear, jaw, and down my neck. I went to the er because I thought it was sinus stuff but I was in so much pain. They gave me penicillin but wouldn't give me anything for pain. But I used oragel and rubbed Vicks over my neck and jaw where it hurt and it really helped. The pain has gone away a lot. Weirdly enough I puked one day and it went away lol. But it still aches a little and oragel works for that. Good luck! That was the worst pain I've ever been in (ftm and haven't experienced labor yet :-)).

Did u try putting a clove on the teeth and biting into it. Cloves are known to relieve toothaches and since its all natural there are no side effects.

Oragel and get to the dentist ASAP you have an abcessed tooth or an infection and need antibiotics. This happened to me back in October they wouldn't let me take anything but Tylenol, the antibiotic will help within 2-3 days.

I have bad teeth as well and i would just try to get to a dentist asap because I'm sure you already know that tooth/mouth pain equals infection or inflamed nerve/ root in your tooth. Neither are fun! Plus the dentist can give you something like Tylenol #3 which will probably help the pain more than anything else. I feel for you trust me!

Oh Im no stranger to tooth pain but its been 2 yrs. My whole top row of teeth are false....theyre beautiful...now lol and they dont hurt! Ever. Lol
But the height of my tooth problems occured in between my last 2 pregnancies and before this one

Orajel was my best friend when I was pregnant with my daughter. Ended up needing a root canal at 5 months pregnant.
