Hi, I had a really bad toothache while I was pregnant. My chemist told me to stay cleer of the teething gels and gave me Nyall Tooth Ache Drops instead which she said are perfectly safe to use while pregnant. From memory they were around $10 to buy. I also found that Panadol helped me at night but the Nyal was great for numbing the whole area. Good luck, I can really sympathise with how painful a toothache can be.
