double check with the dentist to make sure your all ok but sounds like it's the hormones affecting you. poor thing I hope you feel better soon

I can thoroughly sympathise - I had a tooth pulled Thursday, it's now Tuesday and my jaw still hurts. Went back to the dentist and he said it's all healing fine, just my jawbone was quite stressed because it was a difficult tooth.

isnt it the pits!!! ??? normally after dental work i would be fine in a day or 2, since being preggies it seems to take a week or two to recover!

I'm still on flipping painkillers! Ok, the doses are slowly reducing and I'm managing on ordinary panadol/panadeine depending on how bad it is, rather than the panadeine forte the Dr gave me to get me through the worst of it. But I'm soooooooooooo sick of it hurting!

ugh, panadol doesn't cut it on the pain spectrum I might need another filling too.... am dreading it, dentist said there's one on the top that's old, if is still sensitive on friday he said to come back in but wants to give my last one time to settle down before doing any more work..... oh the joys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ugh, apparently I've got another rear top molar that is badly broken and needs work - but my dentist is happy as long as it's not painful to let it ride until after the birth...here's hoping!
