Toothache is making me sleepless in Maryland
I had this really bad toothache for the last two day which as been keeping me awake. I just got back from the dentist. I was told by my dentist that I have a large size cavity in my back wisdom tooth. Up until now I did not need to have it pulled because it was not giving me any problems.
He said normally he would advise getting it pulled. However since I am two months pregnant he can not pull it. So he has prescribed penicillin, vicodin and a strong mouthwash. He said it was safe to take while I was pregnant but the vicodin is making me sleepy and I am not sure that would be good for the baby. Also anyone know if it is okay to take the penicillin?
Advise please thank you
