Severe tooth ache
I am pregnant and this is my 8th month. Due date is on dec 16th 2017. I am having toothache for the past 1 month but the pain was manageable. Now it became severe and not able to manage. Left side last teeth (down) is paining and upper teeth also started paining. Because of this my head and ear is also paining. Can I visit Dentist? I heard I should not take any medicines now. So confused whether to meet dentist or not. Please advice.

Looks like you have a cavity in ur tooth that has gone beyond the living part of the tooth called pulp or nerve and it needs to be treated,now U are in 3rd triemester of pregnancy so it is somewhat safer to take treatment now,but if u want to postpone it to some months then take tab.ultracet 2 times a day after meals along with some home remedy like warm salt water gargles two times a day.
If this doesn't work then you will have to visit ur dentist.
