One of my back teeth has been paining a lot and the dentist suggested extraction. Im 5 months pregnant and scared if its safe to get it removed now or should i wait till after delivery. Anyone done this?
Tooth issues are best handled with both your dentist and gynac informed. Some procedures are usually delayed to the second trimester unless urgent. Please dont decide alone, tell them you are pregnant first.
I had a tooth problem in my second trimester and my dentist coordinated with my gynac before doing anything. That made me feel safe. Please get both their okay rather than rushing it.
Dental work can be done in pregnancy but timing and any medicine matters. Always tell the dentist you are expecting so they choose safe options. For a non urgent extraction they often wait, so ask both doctors.
