Tooth ache during pregnancy
I'm in my 14th weeks of pregnancy now and one of my teeth is very painful and cannot sleep anytime of the day. I don't see any decay in the tooth but because of the sleep I'm not able to get sleep. I tried keeping clove but it's not that effective. Can I apply a drop of clove oil to the tooth?

I assume you are in your second trimester. Most dental treatments are safe in 2nd trimester .
You maybe having decay in between two teeth which is causing severe pain.
One sitting of a root canal can be done and the rest treatment after delivery.
But most of all an opinion is essential from your gynaecologist for the prescription of medicines or there is no risk.
Next Steps
visit your nearest dental clinic or hospital.take an opinion and consent from your gynaecologist.
Health Tips

You need to get the problem diagnosed first. Since you are in your second trimester right now, undergoing dental treatment is safe. If it is a decayed tooth, you can get RCT done to fix it, or get it extracted (depending on the severity of the problem). Consult your nearest dental surgeon at the earliest.
