Dental treatment in 2nd trimester?

Owwwwww! I'm currently 26 weeks and have over the last day or so developed the mother of all toothaches :(

Anyone know if it's ok to have it fixed now? I can find a lot of info about preventatives, but need to know more about potential issues with treatment - not sure how long I'm going to manage it with just panadol.

As long as your dentist knows you are pregnant it shouldn't be an issue. You can't have xrays but you can have other dental stuff done.
