Tylenol: Tylenol will help but only to a point. You need to immediately be seen by a local dentist for emergency care. This treatment will not harm your baby. Failure to treat can result in a systemic infection that can complicate your pregnancy. Please don't wait, call now...

Toothache: Most common cause of toothache is infection. Tylenol, exactly as per package instructions, may take a bit of the edge off, but will not treat the cause of the infection. The infection poses risk to both you and your child. Best solution is to immediately see a Dentist to treat the cause of the infection.
