Ut Oh!! Tooth Ache!!!
I know I need a filling. My tooth hurts with cold.... it's been going on all day today.
What are my options??? To have it done without Novocaine or anything? Or to wait it out about 3 more months??
I'm scared of needing a root canal.. but also scared of no meds and a filling.
I HATE the dentist!! I seriously get freaked out by going to one!!!!

Re: Ut Oh!! Tooth Ache!!!
I have a wonderful dentist who totally got me over my fears - I was a big scaredy cat - now I don't even flinch... just over the bill.
The later in the pregnancy you are the more options I think you have.
Last PG I had broken 3 teeth  (I'm a really bad grinder) and I was able to get work done.
Good Luck

Re: Ut Oh!! Tooth Ache!!!
You can get fillings done while pregnant, they use a novocaine that has no epinephrine in it so it's safe fir pregnancy, i just had a filling done Saturday. If it's sensitive to cold it sounds like a cavity, i would make an appointment to have it fixed. When i was pregnant with DD i had a spontaneous root fracture and had to have an upper premolar removed, lovely pregnancy hazard. Def go to the dentist!

really?? This is good news for me.
I know for a fact that it's a cavity. I have 3 cavities. I was told before I got pregnant about them. And I'm pretty positive this is one of them!!
And that experience you had sounds terrible. I'm sending you hugs for it...

Dr. Brian Raskin - I am sure he has a website - he's all technologically advanced. feel free to FM me if you have any questions - really I couldn't say enough wonderful things about him - he has done so much to help me through the years.
Great quality work, awesome chair side manner - the office is run extremely well. Clean, efficient - all the latest technology.

Re: Ut Oh!! Tooth Ache!!!
I've had extensive dental work done while prego - in Jan I had a filling replaced - i actually did feel some of the work with the "lite" novicane and the dentist was extremely apologetic - I think it was just that particular tooth, because my prior pregnancy I had tooth pulled and an implant placed (it was a front tooth) and it didn't hurt. Bring your ipod and listen to your favorite music!

Re: Ut Oh!! Tooth Ache!!!
I got a cavity while I was in my 3rd tri....
Call your OB for their advice, first..
My OB said to make sure the dentist used a certain type of novicaine that was fine for pregnant women. When I went in to have it filled, we actually used NOTHING  bc my dentist wanted to stay on the conservative side. It didn't hurt so bad. Good Luck!
