Hi, im currently 32 weeks pregnant, i had a tooth extracted on monday, very safely and im healing well but I still have 2 at the bottom with big holesin them where my ffillings popped out 3 months ago! Now dentist 1 said to keep the teeth and do root canal when baby is born I went for a second opinion and doc said to try and keep them but also after baby is born! But now today I am in alot of pain not only is it the pregnancy butits very expensive and we can only afford it in 2/3 months anyway..should I just have it removed aswell? Im scared of infections exc
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, Since you are in the third trimester of pregnancy it is better to postpone the dental procedures till delivery unless it is an emergency. Take antibiotics and analgesics consulting to your ORGAN. Superficial caries can be excavated, and temporary filling can be given. Avoid use of x-rays. Take lukewarm saline rinses and antiseptic mouthwash gargles. Maintain a good oral hygiene.  Hope this helps out. Regards....
