I've developed a terrible toothache, and it's making me so uncomfortable. Since I'm pregnant, I'm hesitant to take anything. What are some safe ways to relieve a toothache during pregnancy?
Actually yaar, tooth pain during pregnancy is the worst because you can't even take random medicines. I used warm salt water rinses and pressed a piece of garlic on it, which helped a lot. But please go to your dentist once, just make sure to tell them you are pregnant.
Keep your mind strong and try a warm saltwater rinse, it is a very pure and natural way to reduce swelling. You can also apply a little organic clove oil for natural relief. Trust in God, stay positive, and do consult your doctor to ensure everything is safe for the baby.
Oh, I had a terrible toothache just last month before my delivery! I did warm saltwater gargles 3-4 times a day which gave temporary relief, and my dentist put a safe temporary filling. Please don't take any painkiller without asking your gynac first.
As if twin pregnancy wasn't painful enough, I had a toothache too, lol! I used to press a clove or clove oil on the aching tooth which really helped soothe the nerve. But seriously, go to a dentist because ignoring a dental infection in pregnancy is not a good idea.
I am planning my pregnancy now and keep hearing that dental issues get worse during those 9 months. Is that really true? For temporary relief, I hear warm saltwater gargles and clove are best, but does anyone know if we can get dental x-rays during pregnancy?
