Can toothache during pregnancy be cured?

For pregnant women, toothache is quite painful. Because pregnant women cannot take medicine at will, but if toothache symptoms are not treated for a long time, it will have a certain impact on the condition of the pregnant woman and the safety of the fetus. Therefore, pregnant women must deal with toothache problems in a timely manner. Below, I will introduce to you several ways to deal with toothache during pregnant women.

1. What to do if a pregnant woman has toothache

Pregnant women cannot take medicine during pregnancy as it will affect the fetus. You can try the following method:

1. Take garlic, mash it, apply it to the painful area after warming it up to treat symptoms such as pulpitis, periodontitis and toothache.

2. Dissolve MSG in warm water at a concentration of 1:50, hold the solution in your mouth for a while and then spit it out. Do this several times in a row, and after two days the toothache will be cured.

3. When you have a toothache, you can cut a small piece of ginger and bite it on the painful area. You can reuse it when necessary, and it is also okay to hold it in your mouth when you sleep. This is a very safe and reliable recipe.

4. Put 100 grams of ordinary white wine into a teacup and add 10 grams of salt; stir, and after the salt is dissolved, put it on the stove and boil it. Hold a mouthful of it at the painful area, be careful not to swallow it, and the toothache will stop immediately.

5. Rinse your mouth: Take a mouthful of water (close to body temperature) and rinse your mouth vigorously.

2. What should pregnant women do if they have toothache?

It is best for pregnant women to go to a dental hospital for a comprehensive examination and necessary treatment before preparing for pregnancy to prevent problems before they occur. In addition, for pregnant women who already have dental diseases, the best time to treat caries and gingivitis is during the second trimester, that is, between 4 and 6 months of pregnancy. However, it is still important to develop correct oral health habits, such as brushing your teeth in the morning and evening, and rinsing your mouth after meals; using dental floss regularly to clean adjacent dental plaque; choosing a health toothbrush with a small brush head, soft and ground bristles, and choosing fluoride toothpaste; and rinsing your mouth after eating snacks.

It is best not to use any medicine. If it is really painful, it is recommended to put fresh ginger in your mouth. Cut a piece of ginger and slowly press it against the painful gums with your tongue. It will usually stop the pain. If the condition does not improve, go to the hospital's dental department for an examination and symptomatic treatment, and eat less spicy and irritating foods.

3. What to do if pregnant women have tooth decay and toothache

Generally speaking, if a pregnant woman experiences such a condition, it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment. Pregnant women are not allowed to take medicine, and they cannot have their teeth filled. Therefore, you can only go to a regular hospital for treatment. A small way to temporarily relieve the symptoms is to gargle with salt water in the morning and evening. It is very troublesome to have dental diseases during pregnancy, and the increased hormone levels can induce other dental diseases. The uterus is very fragile and will be irritated if a toothache occurs.

Therefore, pregnant women should pay more attention to dental care and rinse their mouths after meals to prevent food residues from causing dental problems. If you have any dental problems, you should go to a regular hospital and ask an expert to treat you. Do not take medicine without authorization to avoid affecting the fetus.
