Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
As you are mentioning that you are 8 week pregnant, that means you are in your first trimester, in this condition the dental problems are mainly controlled by medications. As the dentist has prescribed you.
But in emergency conditions treatment is done by specialists with proper chair positions.
You should visit an endodontist to get root canal treatment of the front tooth as it will solve the problem.
Hope it will help you.

Hi,
I have gone through your query.
You have tooth Abscess and you are pregnant. To prevent and harm to fetus, Tylenol and amoxicillin has been prescribed to you. They may not work fine in a short period of time. This is why you are experiencing pain. To relieve your pain you can apply Lignocaine oral ointment, this will reduce pain sensation only and have no healing effect.
I advise you consult a Dental surgeon to look at you abscess and drain it if required. But the mentioned medicines only will continue.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

Wish you a good health.
