Although there are various over the counter medications that are very effective in treating a tooth ache. I do not suggest that you try any of them as you are pregnant and it is unwise for you to have any medication that has not been specifically prescribed for you as it can lead to complications later. This can have a negative impact on the health of your unborn baby. A periodontal disease will increase the risk of your baby being born underweight or prematurely.
You can chew on a couple of cloves and let the mashed cloves remain around the infected tooth. This will help to relieve the pain as well as fight off any infection. You can also soak a cotton ball and place it on the affected tooth. Clamp down firmly but gently to ensure that the cotton ball stays in place and that the oil spreads around the entire affected area.
Rubbing an ice cube on the painful area can numb the pain.
You can also rinse your mouth with a warm saline solution. Salt is a mild antiseptic and so doing this regularly will help to reduce the infection, the inflammation and the pain.
A toothache can also be caused by a cavity, an abscess or a severe tooth infection. Although you can use several home remedies to treat the affected tooth, make sure that you visit a dentist as soon as possible to ascertain the reason for your toothache. A toothache is only a symptom of a problem and not the actual problem itself, so treating a toothache will only give you temporary relief.
