What can a pregnant woman take for tooth pain?

I have a terrible toothache but I'm pregnant, so I'm scared to take just anything. What can a pregnant woman safely take for tooth pain?

You can try warm saltwater gargles for temporary relief. Please consult your gynecologist and dentist before taking any painkiller tablets.

Garm paani mein namak daal kar kulla kar lo, usse dard mein thodi raahat milegi. Par haan, bina doctor se pooche koi dawai mat khana, baby ke liye sahi nahi hai na.

Simple saltwater rinses cost nothing and are completely safe. If you need to see a dentist, go to a government hospital where dental checkups are very cheap and they will safely advise you keeping the pregnancy in mind.

For temporary relief, you can apply a cold compress on your cheek. You should book an online consultation with a dentist immediately to get pregnancy-safe dental treatment instead of self-medicating.

Beti, dant ke dard mein halka garm paani aur namak ka kulla sabse badhiya aur surakshit hota hai. Koi bhi tez dawai mat khana, seedhe apne daktar didi se baat karna.

My sister is in her second trimester and has a bad toothache. Is it safe to press a clove near the painful tooth, or can that also cause some issues?

I had a terrible toothache during my pregnancy too, and it was so hard! I just used a clove oil dab on a cotton ball for a few minutes, which helped, but my gynecologist safely prescribed a mild painkiller that was safe for the baby.
