How to deal with toothache in the second trimester?

I can give you some advice on how to deal with toothache in the second trimester. First of all, toothache may be caused by tooth decay, gingivitis or other oral problems, so I suggest you see a dentist as soon as possible to determine the cause and get appropriate treatment.

While waiting for medical treatment, you can try the following methods to relieve toothache:

1. Rinse your mouth with warm salt water: dissolve a teaspoon of salt in warm water and rinse your mouth. This can help reduce inflammation and kill bacteria.

2. Use cold compress: use an ice pack or a cold wet towel to gently apply it to the painful part, each time 15 minutes. Cold compress can relieve pain and swelling.

3. Avoid chewing hard food: Try to avoid chewing hard food, especially those that may cause pain. Choose soft food, such as cooked vegetables and burnt food.

4. Use over-the-counter drugs: If you have no other health problems, you can try to use over-the-counter drugs that are safe for pregnant women, such as acetaminophen (paracetamol) to relieve pain. But please consult a doctor or pharmacist before use.

5. Pay attention to oral hygiene: It is very important to maintain good oral hygiene. Brush your teeth twice a day, use mild toothpaste and a soft brush, and floss to clean the gaps between your teeth. These methods are only temporary solutions, not permanent solutions. So I strongly suggest that you go to the dentist as soon as possible to get professional treatment advice and treatment plan.
