I had to go to the dentist while pregnant

I'm still many months away before my kids birth, but exactly at this time it turns out I have a tooth infection in the very back and the dentist can not use the x-ray.

The last visit I had was so terribly painful and I'll have to wait up a week before the babies birth so they can properly look at my tooth to fix it up. I did get a filling for now, but it can still hurt. Now I try not to eat as much on this side until this nightmare is over.

Happy valentines, people! I'm sure yours wasn't as bad as mine lol.

If you get some probiotics this will take the pain down and won't harm the baby. Neither will swishing hydrogen peroxide around in your mouth, which stops the pain. Enterobiotics is what you need. Walmart may have some that would help, too. Sorry for your pain.

We don't have a walmart here in europe where I live. My dentist did say and give me some meridol to flush my mouth with everyday. I'll look into it! Thank you!

Hi there. Pregnancy does take alot put of you. It can weaken your teeth. That happened to two pregnancies I went through, so I can relate to your story. Have a great valentine's day, and hope you feel better real soon.

@triangless: Indeed! I had my children young, so glad I did. I rode bikes with them, slide down slides, climbed mountains. It wasn't easy all the time, but children are beautiful and amazing

I absolutely agree 💖

@triangless: my daughter let me come to her appointments when they did ultrasounds. It never fails to amaze me , the miracle of life.

Try something like a orajel if you can. You'll make it through though. Congratulations too!

Thank you! And yes I'll manage somehow 😅

You might look at natural remedies too.

I had an absessed tooth, when I was 4 months pregnant. It is no fun.
I had to have a root canal. Hang in there.

Not as of now, but I think I'll give the dentist another call if I get any more tooth pain, maybe they know which ones to take.
