Brief Answer:
Needs more details..

Detailed Answer:
Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Well if you have a toothache it can be either due to deep decay or fracture in tooth or gum related infection..
So I would like to know a few more details so that I can guide you further.
1.Is you tooth decayed?
2.Is the tooth loose?
3.Is there any swelling associated with pain?
4.Do you have any medical problems or are you on any medication or any known allergies?
5.Is type One diabetes is associated with you or someone else?

As far as Insulin is concerned it is a prescription medication and you can take it with appropriate dosage after getting proper blood glucose investigations done and only under supervision of a Diabetologist..

Please revert back with answers..

Brief Answer:
Get an x ray of tooth done..

Detailed Answer:
Hi..
If the tooth is cracked with swelling and pain then you need to consult a Dentist and get an x ray if tooth done..
If tooth can be saved Root canal treatment of tooth has to be done followed by capping of tooth..
It will be followed by antibiotics and painkillers..
For now take pain relievers for reducing pain..

As far as Insulin is concerned, yes you can very much talk to a Diabetologist on this website so that they can guide you regarding the dosage and duration of Insulin intake that will be safe and helpful for your daughter..

Hope this helps..
