  • Ice pack, maybe? Probably won't actually do a whole lot, but it might help.

    My fiance finally went to the dentist today and found out his wisdom tooth is sideways and severely infected. Dentist even gave him antibiotics to help when it gets pulled on Friday. I've been telling him to go in for months!
  • You can take tylenol 500 mg.
  • Ive taken tylenol so much it doesnt work I had to call my ob an they called me in some hydrocodone,5 _500but I cant take them till tomorrow ,,,i just want it to stop I cant do this
  • Call The dr again and say its an emergency. They have open slots just for things like this. Also rince your mouth with warm salt water, it will ease the pain and prevent infection. Bad news is you won't be able to get an xray, but good news is they can give you anesthetic in the second trimester. Once they open the tooth up they can determin the problem. They will probably put you on an antibiotic as well. Try some orajel and stay away from things too hot or too cold (sorry lots of input, I went to dental school)
  • Go to a dentist asap, germs from plague / tooth decay maybe passed to ur baby.
  • Actually because your past 13 weeks they.probably will xray, I was told 2 dissolve asn aspirin n gargle it dont swallow or bonjella anyway good luck mine r killing also
  • Thanks ladys
  • Yeah I heard taking a tylenol and crushing it and actually rubbing it on your gum where the tooth is and actually press it into the cavity or on the tooth
  • I have been having a toothache off and on also. I'm going to the dentist Fri. But my mother in-law recommended using clove oil. It taste nasty but it works. I just rub a bit all around the tooth and gums. Then I spit a few times so I don't swallow it. It works. Got it from the pharmacy.
  • Yea clove oil is wat I used too! help out alot
  • The doctor said I could use orajel
  • Wow I brushed mt teeth hard to open it up and then used salt water then orajel,,, I feel alot better now ,,,, thanks ladys now I can eat and hopefully get some sleep
  • I recommend clove oil, too... I have had terrible teeth my whole life & that always helped numb the pain & buy a couple days until you get in to the dentist. Good luck!
