Common causes of toothache include: tooth allergy, tooth decay, wisdom teeth, pulpitis, pericoronal abscess, acute periapical periodontitis, etc.
As usual, how to treat it, but if you meet with pregnancy, the problem is not that simple…
In the first three months of pregnancy, drugs have a great influence on the fetus, and pregnant women are prone to nausea and vomiting, making oral operations difficult.
Three months after pregnancy, many treatments require pregnant women to lie on their backs on the surgical chair for a long time, which is not conducive to the health of pregnant women.
This kind of situation, let doctors also have to think more.
What if I happen to bump into it?
First of all, you have to go to the hospital and ask the dentist to take a look at it for you. The cause of your toothache is what, and then you can treat it symptomatically.
1. Tooth allergy
- Avoid eating foods that irritate teeth; Use fluoride-containing anti-allergy toothpaste; Do a good job of tooth cleaning and nursing at ordinary times.
2. Tooth decay
Before developing pulpitis, tooth decay can be treated by filling teeth. Try to avoid filling teeth during the three months before and after pregnancy, please consult a doctor for details.
If it is just three months before and after, the doctor will relieve your illness first according to your specific situation, for example, it may give you pain relief, and suggest the next treatment after the second trimester of pregnancy or the birth of the baby.
3. Wisdom teeth
Pregnancy just long wisdom teeth, toothache is not good, or pregnancy wisdom teeth inflammation?
If it occurs in the three months before and after pregnancy, doctors will generally tend to be conservative and only do washing, pain relief and other treatments to relieve symptoms.
Extraction of teeth during pregnancy is somewhat risky, so it should be decided whether to pull or stay according to the specific situation of wisdom teeth and the wishes of expectant mothers.
4. Several Acute Oral Inflammation
If it happened to catch up with pulpitis, pericoronal abscess, acute periapical periodontitis and other conditions at this time, it would be quite difficult.
These diseases are not incurable, but the risks of expectant mothers and babies are too high during the treatment process. Unless necessary, it is not recommended to choose this time for treatment.
Can tooth be extracted during pregnancy?
Tooth extraction can also be carried out during pregnancy, but it is generally safer to avoid the three months before and after pregnancy, and it is safer to extract teeth during 4-6 months of pregnancy.
Tooth extraction generally requires X-ray examination results, but doctors will not give X-rays to pregnant women unless there is an emergency. In this way, the operation of tooth extraction depends entirely on the doctor’s experience, and of course there will be certain risks.
Whether to pull out or not depends on the specific conditions of each person’s teeth and can be decided after consulting a doctor.
Can you wash your teeth during pregnancy?
Of course, but you must remember to choose a regular hospital.
Some dental problems may not be suitable for treatment during pregnancy, when doctors will choose conservative treatment, including tooth washing. Tooth washing can remove dental plaque in the oral cavity, remove or reduce tartar, and relieve oral inflammation.
