Question:

I am 31 weeks pregnant with a toothache. What can I do? PLEASE HELP!!!?

I've taken tylenol and rinsed with salt water. Could it maybe be my gums, it started hurting yesterday before that I had no sensitivity to hot or cold.


Answers:

Hi perfectly pink, no taken tylenol.
You can either use the liquid form or the actual clove. Rubbing clove oil on the tooth is believed to relieve the pain from a toothache. Clove oil contains eugenol, which is a natural pain killer and an antibacterial substance.

Another remedy for toothaches is to mix lime juice and asafoetida powder. Asafoetida is a spice used in Indian cooking. Soak a cotton ball in this mixture and rub it on your tooth and gum. This will help to ease your pain. You can also try adding 1 tbsp of salt to 1/2 cup of boiling water. Put this combination in your mouth, as hot as you can bear it. Then swish it around the problem area. You can also gargle with Listerine Antiseptic, as this has been known to bring relief as well.

Another home remedy is to pour a few drops of vanilla extract on the tooth, as this has been known to ease the pain. You can even crush a clove of fresh garlic and mix it with peanut butter and apply this to the tooth. Does this sound disgusting? Maybe – but it has been known to help. Chewing on ice on the side of the mouth in pain will help as well.

If the above remedies work only temporarily, a sure fire remedy is to visit your dentist.
