No it wont hurt the baby at all. But the other posts are right you should go to the dentist its safe in the 2NDTrimester for most dental procedures and you dont want it to get any worse! Hope your tooth feels better soon. Teeth problems are the worst!

Thanks.  I'll try that. My husband was telling me about that but I wouldn't listen.  And it won't harm the baby in any way right?

You can buy the essential oil called Clove oil. usually found in the organic section at grocery store or a health food store. It numbs and kills off infection.  Worked wonders for me! Also rinsing with warm salt water may help.
