einnoc, i went to ntuc denticare. the dentist gave me colgate one (something flax). can ask your hubby to look at the bottle, it should state non-alcohol i think. you can try watsons to see whether they have those sample sizes (usually $1.95) for sale, then try whether it feels better before buying the bigger bottle. normally sample sizes can last about 2-3 times only. i use it only once a day before i go to sleep. in fact i only use twice, and the swelling is gone. so i stopped using. hee.. coz i don't like the peppermint taste.
if you have a dentist nearby, suggest you go for a consultation to ensure that its nothing serious, else double pain when you want to deliver leh..
cayenne, oh.. maybe my gynae is more flexible in this case. only visit her once impromptu to check the bb's movement as well as get MC for the day for cramps. But if the reason is not feeling well then also mention about the bb's movement, will he charge u?
