Pregnant dental care: I wouldn't worry. See a dentist as soon as possible to determine the cause of your dental problem and get appropriate treatment. Most dental treatment can be performed while pregnant. There is generally more danger to not getting treatment. All this can be worked out with the approval of your Obstetrician.

Toothache & pregnant: If you are pregnant and have a toothache, do not hesitate to take an appointment with your dentist notifying him/her that you are pregnant. Ignore the widely spread misconception that you should not have dental treatment during pregnancy because it could harm the fetus. See your dentist ASAP.

No, but: Safe: Reg/extra-strength Tylenol. Follow dosage/bottle & you'll be okay. Other pain relievers—eg ibuprofen (Motrin/Advil), naproxen (Aleve)—can trigger decrease in amniotic fluid level 3rd trimester (less cushion for baby, more pressure on lifeline, the umbilical cord). Advil may also make a vessel in baby's heart close prematurely & cause developmental issues in later stages of pregnancy.
