Babushka Doll, it is all very close in there, and an inflammed/infected wisdom tooth can definitely refer pain to the ear area. Not an expert so not sure if it works the other way around! Certainly it doesn't seem to be a common complaint, or I would have seen more of it in my line of work. (Sinus trouble can definitely feel like toothache though). Then there's joint pain, which is a whole other story.........

I would still always recommend seeing a dentist, ESPECIALLY if you're pg. As I posted earlier, GPs are notoriously bad with treating dental problems, and hey! they're not dentists, are they LOL?! I think they spend something like a DAY out of all their YEARS at uni learning about dental stuff. And untreated dental problem can cause complications in pg, it is always best to have a problem like Monnie's checked out. Not to scare anyone, but I find it hard not to get on my high horse with this issue!

I have so many friends who have been told NOT to go near a dentist whilst they are pg by their midwives! This makes me so frustrated as it is very important, even more so than normal, for pg women to maintain good oral health, and for their dentist to check the state of their mouth. As I have said before, dentists have trained for 5 years to gain their qualifications, they are well aware of how to treat a pg woman, as long as you share this information with them. I am booked in myself for a check and clean in a few weeks (I have yucky pg ginigivitis - how embarrassing for me!), so I am definitely not concerned about hopping in the dentist chair!

Like I said, I don't want to scare anyone, just make sure you are all aware that it IS safe, and improtant, to see your dentist during your pg.
