Hi there!! My Name is Mischelle And i am currently 34weeks pregnant. for the past few days i have been getting very bad toothaches and have been trying to get over it. i have consulted the dentist but they said there is nothing wrong with the tooth. so to get rid of the pain i am applying a small amount of clove oil. is this safe for me and the baby?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The tooth pain might be because of the infection in the wisdom tooth or it can be because of gum infection(pregnancy gingivitis). Nothing to be panic, consult a good oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can do saline gargling. We cannot do any treatment during the 3rd trimester so you have to wait till you deliver. Do not apply clove oil it can burn the soft tissues.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
