Seeing a dentist while pregnant

[principessa76]

There's no way I'd wait until bub to get that tooth sorted. The dentist can probably do some sort of short term dressing on the tooth that will prevent infection occurring and won't be a big deal. If you need the tooth out you can then wait until after bub. Its the potential risk of infection that's of concern for you and bub.

I'm sure you've employed some relaxation techniques for your previous births so why not try them out at the dentist. Do you have a regular dentist? If not ask some people where you live and see if you can find a lovely female dentist to see. You've been through 2 births and a 3rd soon..... getting your tooth fixed will be so much easier than this!

I don't see how a birth can be comparied to going to a dentist. Birth isn't about pain or anxiety. You're in a different state of mind when you're in labour.

I have had very bad experiences in that past with dentists which is why i have not seen one in nearly 6 years. I haven't been able to control my anxiety as yet. So if i can''t use the gas then i am just going to have to wait because the stress will not be good for the baby either. Unless there is something else i can take?
