A natural remedy will be  cayenne pepper. place it on the tooth that's bothering you.

I'm a dental assistant. You would need to visit a dentist asap. The only thing with that is, some dentist won't see you unless you have a doctors clearance letter. Stating that you can have an xray of that area taken, what time of anesthetic is ok to use and what medication they can prescribe.  With the xray they'll let you know whats going on. Also when I take xrays of pregnant ladies I put 2 lead aprons. So if you see that they are only putting one apron on you. Politely request another. Just for extra precaution for your baby ;)

My dentist recommended I get it dealt with ASAP, because not only are you putting stress on the baby while your in pain, but if you have some kind of infection it can pass to the baby! Definitely go in asap! :) Good luck!

When I was pregnant with my daughter I got a horrible toothache, went to the dentist and they had to do a root canal! Might be your case! All I did was use Orajel like crazy!

You need to find out what the problem is - if it's a cavity,  a broken tooth,  a gum infection or abcess,  etc.
