Hey Ladies, anyone else with a toothache?? i was up all night last night with this horrible toothache. Took 2 Tylenol, pain went for a bit & came right back like a ton of bricks! 

Called my dentist this morning, & he said he couldn't operate on me but im almost 9 months prego

ladies do you have any home remedies so that i can at least sleep tonight? TIA

Find a new dentist.  Seriously (I'm a dentist's kid if that helps).  Not treating an infected tooth can lead to MUCH larger problems if that is what it ends up being.

Get on antibiotics, then find a new dentist

I used to work for a dentist. They don't like working on preggos, but when needed they did. Like the other ladies said look for a new dentist stat! You need to treat that tooth

I actually just had the same thing!! Went to the dentist and he was awesome. Called my ob because I thought I needed a root canal, which I still might.  The dentist took extra precautions no gas, no epinephrine, and double lead with X-ray. I definitely have a bad tooth, he worked on it and gave me antibiotics, put a temporary filling in to see if we could treat what was going on without a full root canal. I would definitely find a new dentist, maybe ask ur ob to suggest one. My dentist said I was the third pregnant woman this week to come in.
