Toothache

My gums are so swollen, my tooth is pulsating and it's giving me a sore head. I've been popping paracetamol despite my reserve and using bonjela but I can't sleep as its just barely helping. I've tried brushing my teeth, flossing and rinsing my mouth. Any suggestions before I get an appointment with my dentist?

Ofcourse I will go to the dentist but I am in agony right now my dentist is not open for another 3 hours and then I will have to wait for an appointment?

If you haven’t already (I know you said you’ve tried rinsing) - try stirring some salt into a cup of warm water and gargling/rinsing it around your mouth for a while - I find it helps.

I'm doing that but seems like the pain is coming more frequently now 😭

Clove oil? (I appreciate if you don’t have any at home that might be tricky until the shops are open)

(Although actually google suggest clove oil may not be safe in pregnancy - I would have thought a dab would be OK though)
