Tooth ache!!!

Feelslikea1sttimer · 02/08/2013 16:58

I am 25 weeks pregnant and have had horrific tooth ache for a couple of days now, I have an appointment at the dentist next week but does anybody know anything I can use to make it bearable? I have been taking Paracetamol and rubbing bonjela on but it's only taking the edge off it, not actually stopping the pain....!

It has reduced me to tears on a couple of occasions :(

Any advice would be very gratefully received :)

If you are in pain and pregnant they should see you as an emergency surely...even in NHS?
Failing that try a private dentist.

Aww you poor thing. Please ring the dentist back tomorrow and ask for an emergency, on the day appointment. You shouldn't be crying in pain. Toothache is vile, and even the strongest painkillers don't always touch it.

Try the clove oil tonight if you've got some and ring first thing tomorrow.

Good luckxxx

firstly: clove oil! it really, really does work!

secondly, ring them first thing in the morning and ask for an emergency appointment!

Cloves definitely and don't get fobbed off by the dentist.
