teeth

my teeth have hurt so badly since yesterday morning, all day all over - they look good, no bleeding etc. i never had wisdom teeth taken out - you think they are pushing now? or "pregnancy gingivitis" ? ?? last night i needed tylenol to sleep -and the pain woke me up 4 hours later and to take more.

i am 17 weeks .. waiting for dentist to open..really dont wanna go ..

Go! You wouldn't want to wait if there is something going on for the risk of infection is worse. You can get work done while you're pregnant. They just can't use traditional novacaine. They have to use an alternate numbing agent that works just as well IMO. I had cavities filled and a rootcanal done when I was pg with ds.

Hope your mouth feels better soon!

Definitely go to the dentist. Teeth problems while pregnant are best treated early. My friend had pregnancy gingivitis and it was bad. I myself cracked a tooth and need a root canal around 20 weeks. The dentist said an untreated infection is worse than the minimal risks of dental work.

Re: teeth

I had teeth pain in the beginning. But its really important for you to go to the dentist while your pregnant. There's so much these Lo's take from us and unfortunately they pull from everywhere even your teeth.
