Dental care and pregnancy?

I'm about 20 weeks along now---i have the most HORRID tooth pain---after EVERY TIME I EAT---I have to brush after every meal--or else the pain will continue---my bottom wisdom teeth are trying to push through--and I know I cannot have oral surgery until after i deliver--is there any thing I can do to manage the pain---this is even when I drink Juice--this tooth pain is terrible....I don't want to take tylenol every day either--I am not comfortable taking medication while pregnant---but this is interfering with my job---because after breakfast and lunch--I feel horrible....

Dental care and pregnancy?
Leaving it alone can be harmful to your baby, and yourself. You could get infected and die, and/or give the infection to your baby and he/she dies. There are also some modest correlations with maternal infection during pregnancy and schizophrenia later in life for the infant.


If you have not told your doctor, tell him/her immediately.





Edit: In response to your further inquiry.


Yes, you will die if you do not take antibiotics to treat a tooth infection. The infection will spread to your brain and I am sure you have an idea of the rest.
Reply:you may need to go see your dentist and maybe they will have some ideas for you without taking medication good luck to you
Reply:Go To Your Dentist... They Might Be Able To Do Something... I Had A Cleaning And A Filling Done And My Dentist Said You Can Go A Lot Of dental Work While Pregnant, Just Nothing That Will leave You Laying Down For A Long Time, Like A Root Canal...


You Might Just Need A Good Cleaning Though, That's What Happened To Me!! Once I Got My Teeth Cleaned The Pain Went Away!!
Reply:keep chewing cloves whenever u have toothache,try to keep the cloves below the toot h which is aching,pain will subside and vanish in a few days
Reply:If you have infected tooth, then that's going to do more harm to you and your baby than letting it go. An infected too can also lead to preeclampsia, or so many doctors and dentists will tell you.





Call your OB/GYN and ask her for some advice. Next, make an appointment with a dentist.





You're going to need to take Tylenol--it's perfectly safe. If you don't take Tylenol, you're going to feel even worse and let it go to a point where all you do is get sick from so much pain. Also try to use some hot/cold compresses.
Reply:Contact a dentist, and make sure they know you're pregnant. Even if you can't have oral surgery, other pain management options may be available. Use mouthwash to kill germs and minimize infection risk. It helps me with my tooth/gum pain.


It's important to have good oral health in pregnancy to minimize your risk for having a pre-term birth.


Try drinking nutritional supplement drinks, to help boost your diet.
Reply:I might be just a little paranoid when it comes to tooth pain because a guy who worked with my mom died from a tooth infection. Talk to your dentist and find out what all your options are.
Reply:Try chewing cloves chewing gum.......But check with your OB first.


Switch toothpaste......Get sensodyne or some other brand designed for sensitive teeth %26amp; just try to stay away from cold drinks %26amp; food.
Reply:Oh man....I feel for you.Tooth pain is the worst. Have you asked your doctor about a safe pain reliever you can take? I know you mentioned not wanting to take anything but with your tooth pain as severe as it sounds, you might have too. That or tough it out. Sorry.
Reply:dental care is important for a healthy pregnancy. I know it may seem funny or odd but if you have oral health problems it can actually cause problems with your pregnancy.


You are urgred to continue routine dental visits and to go to the dentist if you have problems even if you are pregnant.


Dentists deal with pregnant woman all the time, they can give you something to help and maybe even do something to allevate the pain; even though you are pregnant. Good Luck!
Reply:i would say call the dentist and make a app. after you hit the second trimester it is safe and i asked my ob/gyn when i was pregnant that is how i know just call your doctor and ask. but for now i would take some tylenol for the pain.
Reply:Have you talked to your dentist and your doctor about this?





While surgery is not something you would want to elect to do during pregnancy, it can be safely done when it's necessary. (I was completely sedated for a needed kidney stone removal at 29 weeks - and everything is fine).





At the same time, if there's room for those wisdom teeth to come in, and this is just a matter of getting through teething pain, then yes, you can be given some prescription strength pain-killers. Percocet, for example, is made out of the same base ingredient as Tylenol (it's just 10 times stronger).





good luck
