Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Even though you are pregnant, it is completely safe to do any dental treatment in this trimester (four to six months). It is also safe to take X-rays in this trimester. Dolo 650 is basically a Paracetamol tablet which is a very mild painkiller. It can only relieve pain for less than four hours and cannot completely cure a toothache. And, other high dose painkillers and antibiotics are not advisable for you now. So, I advise you to visit a dentist immediately and get it sorted. Active dental treatment will only help in this situation.
