My tooth has been paining badly and the dentist said root canal is needed. But im 6 months pregnant and honestly scared about the procedure and anesthesia and all. Did anyone get it done while pregnant?
Oh my God, I felt so scared about any kind of procedure during my first pregnancy. My dentist actually wanted to do something small but my gynac said to wait till after delivery. Please ask your doctor very clearly, sometimes they can tell you if it can wait or if it's super urgent.
I remember reading about this on my pregnancy app! It usually says to clear any dental work with your gynac first. You can also search for articles on trusted pregnancy sites for more info, but your doc's advice is primary. Maybe track your symptoms too for your gynac.
So actually, root canals are generally considered safe in the second trimester, but your dentist will likely consult your OBGYN first. They'll take precautions with X-rays and pick pregnancy-safe pain relief if needed. Just make sure both docs are on the same page.
Oh god, dental pain during pregnancy, that's just adding to the woes, especially if you had morning sickness like me! Please don't ignore it. Just go straight to your gynac and dentist. They'll tell you the best time and way to get it done without any risk to you or baby.
Mere ghar pe meri mummy always said to be extra careful with any medical procedures when I was pregnant. She told me to ask the gynac for everything. So, beta, please discuss fully with your doctor and family, they will tell you what's right.
Beta, take care of yourself first. Don't stress too much, just keep a positive mind. Talk to your doctor, they will guide you properly. Sometimes these things happen, just trust in God and your medical team.
Oh, dental issues are such a pain na. I actually had a filling done in my second trimester. My gynac said local anaesthesia is generally okay. But root canal is a bigger procedure, so definitely confirm with your doc. They will know what's best for you and baby.
Hey! 🤗 Dental health is so important na. While pregnant, it's always best to get a green signal from your gynac before any major procedure like a root canal. They'll advise if it's okay now or if you should wait! All the best! ✨
Honestly, for something like a root canal, you should definitely discuss it with both your dentist and your gynac. They usually coordinate to see what's safest, especially which trimester. Sometimes they recommend postponing if it's not urgent, but if it is, they'll make sure it's done safely.
Beta, toothache is very difficult. Ghar pe for temporary relief, maybe some warm saltwater gargle, but for root canal, you must speak to your doctor. They know best about medicines and everything during pregnancy. Don't take any chances.
