Toothache

Definitely go get yourself checked. Gum and teeth problems are unfortunately really common in pregnancy because of all the hormones. I didn’t realise this before I was pregnant! But when I was 6 weeks, I developed awful wisdom tooth pain. I was in so much pain I was struggling to open my mouth. I ended up seeing an emergency dentist who prescribed co-amoxiclav (they couldn’t prescribe metronidazole due to the pregnancy). Unfortunately a couple of days later I ended up in a&e as the infection had got worse and I was admitted to hospital for three nights with infection and a locked jaw. I was in so so much pain. Definitely get seen soon. Hope you’re okay. xx
@Lydia my wisdom tooth is half way through… that’s one of the ones that’s hurting, then the 1 before that and then the molar at the top☹️ I’m currently in wales on a weekend away, don’t get back home till tomorrow evening, and then Dentists will be closed Tuesday I’m assuming🫣 x
Definitely call 111 and get a dental appointment. I understand that you're afraid of the dentist, but this is something you're gonna have to do. During pregnancy our teeth and gums become quite vulnerable and susceptible to infections and diseases. You need to get seen
