teeth pain from pregnancy

I've been in so much pain for week and half. Dentist said its pregnancy related, gums swollen, Tylenol and orsjel not working. Apparently common. Anyone else have this?

I haven't experienced this but I have read that a lot of oral problems can be due to pregnancy hormones (pain, bleeding gum, etc.)

Hope you feel better.

I majorly had teeth problems in the second trimester. My gums were swollen, I cracked a molar, needed a root canal and most annoying of all, could not stop clenching my jaw - even in the middle of the night I'd wake up from the clenching. My friend had pregnancy gingivitis and had a mouth full of cysts.

I would go to a different dentist, honestly. When I went to mine for the root canal he said never to let oral problems go too long while pregnant, they can cause infections, etc.

I was just thinking today that it feels like I have a cavity. It's not my gums but my tooth hurting. Hoping it really is pregnancy related and not another cavity

Pregnancy gingivitis is very common! My gums swelled and bled all the time. It went away as soon as DS was born.
