Hello ,
Yes ! Acetaminophen / Paracetamol is safe in Pragnancy .
Visit to your nearest dentist to rule out pain followed by clinical procedure , aviod xray .
Sever pain indicates infection in tooth .
Your dentist will start root canal treatment followed by apex locator to avoid x- ray.

Paracetamol is safe but go for 500 mg.
This will not solve your issue, just go to dentist do the access opening ( first step in Root Canal Treatment) and drain the pus if any . Then remaining procedure you can continue in second trimester ( from 4 to 7 months). X ray is not mandatory, they can use apex locators.
Avoid hot water gargle .
Hope this helps you

Totally safe do take pyregesic 650 only (3-4 times/day is also absolutely ok) as painkiller.
Specific antibiotic is also safe for pregnancy period which is effective on toothache significantly.
Only after clinical evaluation that can be prescribed if necessary in your case.
Next Steps
do not apply hot compression balm or ointment extra orally.
avoid sweet, hard, very hot or cold food.

Hi,
Paracetamol is considered as a safe drug for pregnancy. However I advise you to avoid self medication and consult a dentist and your gynaecologist in that order.It may be possible to have a solution without the xray
