Dental care and pregnancy?

Wednesday, November 24, 2010

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....

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.
