Hi my tooth is chipped and missing a good portion. I have been having problems with this tooth being really painful, and hyrts when I eat. My left side is swelled up pretty bad.

Hi.
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that there is infection in your chipped tooth leading to progress of infection below the root tips of the tooth and causing pus formation leading to formation of Dental Abscess..

You need to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and as you are pregnant taking any medication without proper consultation is not advisable and in case if there will be emergency the tooth will have to be treated under consent of Gynaecologist..

As of now you can take Acetaminophen to relieve pain and do cool compresses over the swelling..

Hope this information helps..

Regards.
