See a dentist: A severe toothache needs to be addressed asap. Just because you are pregnant does not mean you cannot have dental treatment, especially if it is an emergency.

See a dentist: In general Acetaminophen has the least potential for any complications, but it is not always so effective for toothaches. Dental treatment, done safely, is not contra-indicated during a routine pregnancy. Visit http://www.Drplitt.Com/maternity-dentistry/ for more information.

Visit Endodontist: Get your toothache taken care of.Always ck w your OB but I have performed root canals on pregnant women at all stages w no problems. Pain and infection can be serious so don't hesitate. It can be efficiently done by a specialist. Until you get seen, i agree that tylenol (acetaminophen). Is safest
