Dental Problems

[Leila]

Hi guys

just a question, i am awake at 2am in real pain from a tooth ache from my top right wisdom tooth. Just wondering if any one knows if it is safe to have teeth pulled whilst pregnant. I am thinking i have heard somewhere that it is not safe. I am 13 weeks pregnant. Thanks

I would call a dentist first thing in the morning and ask. I think that if it is causing too much trouble they will take it out. From memory a couple of people here have had teeth pulled while pregnant. *hugs* hope you feel better soon.

Yes it is safe. In fact if you do have problems with your teeth when pregnant it can in some circumstances cause problems for your unborn baby

I agree Leila, talk to your dentist, but I would think if your wisdom tooth is troubling you then having it out would be the best thing for you.

Thanks for you speedy replys guys. I am going to give my dentist a call as soon as he opens.
