One of my back teeth has started paining and theres a small cavity i think. Im 5 months along and scared to go to the dentist now, dont know whats safe. Anyone got dental work done while pregnant?
Please dont self treat or pop painkillers for tooth pain. Go to a dentist and tell them you're pregnant so they pick safe options. Gum problems are common in pregnancy so getting it checked early is best.
Honestly just go see the dentist, decay won't fix itself. Second trimester is the convenient window. Till then mild salt water rinse and gentle brushing. Tell them you're pregnant, they handle it carefully.
Dental work can be done during pregnancy, second trimester is usually the best time, my dentist explained. Tell the dentist you're pregnant so they avoid certain x-rays and meds. Dont leave decay alone, infection isn't good for you or baby.
I had a tooth issue in my second pregnancy and got it treated, completely safe when the dentist knows you're expecting. Dont suffer in pain yaar, book the appointment. Brush twice and floss in the meantime.
Beta in our days we did warm salt water gargle for pain relief, that can soothe a little. But decay needs a proper dentist na, gargle is only for comfort till you go. Dont ignore it.
