Hi,
Thanks for asking the query,
As you are pregnant care should be taken before prescription of drugs and during treatment.
Before taking any medication consult your OBGN doctor to know the safety for you.
For dental reasons you can take amoxicillin twice daily.
Avoid exposure to x-rays.
The infected dentine and pulp can be extirpated and temporary filling can be placed, this will subside the toothache temporarily.
Meantime you maintain a good oral hygiene at home, use saline water gargles, antiseptic mouthwash like chlorhexidine twice daily.
Further treatment has to be done after delivary.
Hope this helps out.
Regards..

Dear friend.
Thanks for sharing your concern.
it is better to get the dental treatment done in the second trimester.you are advised to see your dentist as soon as possible, so that whichever cavities are superficial can be excavated and filled.
so that further infection in your mouth can be prevented.
you can also see your physician and ask for suitable antibiotics and analgesics at this stage.
meanwhile maintain good oral hygiene.
hope it helps.
take care.
thanks.

hello there ,
Dental treatment can be carried out for you till your second trimester as it is safe period .
Cavities in the teeth can be excavated professionally by approaching a dentist and the affected teeth can be filled with cementing material .
Infected teeth needs root canal treatment which can be carried out after your delivery.
avoid exposure to x rays and take medication consulting your OBGN .
I would suggest you to consult a dentist and get the clinical examination and evaluation done accordingly treatment can be carried out.

Get your teeth cleaned.
Frequent warm saline gargle may be helpful.
Maintain good oral hygiene.
Use chorhexidine mouthrinse to gargle.
