Possible tooth infection but on holiday

Hi all,

Just writing this message to vent my fear and get a kick up the bum from you all really, otherwise this is something I can sit on and sit on until it gets really bad ....

I am 31 + 4 days with DC1. I am currently on holiday in Devon with my DP's family, all staying in a big house in the middle of nowhere but it's good fun. Yesterday I noticed a tooth that I had previously chipped had become sore and last night it woke me up. The pain is not unbearable at the moment but it is uncomfortable, even being that I have just taken my first lot of paracetamol. I need to go to a dentist but we are not due home until Friday. I am feeling sick with worry.

I am horrendously scared of the dentist. And being that I am in an unfamiliar place, this has ramped up my fear as I dont know what I will be getting if I manage to get an emergency appointment.

This is a stupid worry but I am also worried that I will derail plans for the day for my family of in laws by going to the dentist. 🤣 Ridiculous, I know.

Just looking for some words of encouragement and some "woman up"s really .... I know it will only get worse if I don't go and Friday feels like a lifetime away.

🙈

Anyone else deathly frightened of the dentist but has gone during pregnancy? I'm really scared.
