    The best thing to do would be to see your dentist. I did have dental treatment when I was in early stages of pregnancy and I know your ok to have injections when you pregnant so there must be something to help you. I did have a filling but I had it done without injections. Your teeth do sometime become painful when pregnant but if it's nothing major the pain will pass.

    Ask your midwife and maybe see if paracetamol helps first.

    Good luck xx

    My doctor advised me to take paracetomol, but when that did not help, he said Nurofen Liquid Capsules (this is what i normally use for toothache) were fine to take while pregnant so long as I didnt swallow them like they were sweeties! Basically whatever you normally use for pain releif is fine, in very small quantities, and only for a day or too, until you can see your dentist!

    take paracetamol and arrange to see your dentist. dental treatment is free when you are pregnant and they will be able to advise/treat you properly as teeth are one of the first thing to be affected by pregnancy.
