Dental work and pregnancy, what is safe
I am having a really hard time with my tooth that needs to have a root canal or something done to it to stop this god awful pain I am having. I am three months pregnant and my dentist is scared to do anything to help me. I got him to give me some antibiotics for abscess that is starting by that tooth. He is so very paranoid about doing any dental work on me because I am pregnant regardless of the pain that I am in.
So he stated he would not do anything else for me and referred me to an Endodontics. I think he is just shoving me off onto another dentist. I do not want to do anything that can cause harm to my unborn baby but staying in this much pain for another six months is out of the question. I can not see how that can be any good for my baby either. Anyone with useful advise please.
