Major dental and pregnant!!

Question

I am in my first trimester and have a wisdom tooth impacted that has infected my gums, broke a tooth, popped my jaw out of place, and is now giving me fevers and the oral surgeon won't do the surgery unless he puts me in a light sleeep....I've been told many things about pregnancy and dental work although i also know the fevers aren't good for the baby!! help i am confused!!

Answer 1

Get that taken care of right away like others have said you don't need to be put under. If the fever gets too high it can kill the baby. Take to your OB and don't put it off any longer!

Answer 2

Get suggestions from the gynecologist and dental specialist. Discuss the same with your gynecologist.

If at all everything can go smooth without affecting your baby, take up the surgery. If not then request the surgeon to prescribe a treatment according to the gynecologist's suggestion and advise.

Dont worry. That will also affect the baby

Answer 3

You don't have to be sedated to get your tooth removed. Ask your OB doctor if he wants you to be sedated. You can just get injections into your gum and nerve to have the tooth removed.

Anxiety, pain, and infection are all bad for the baby. Check with your OB before doing anything.  

Answer 4

explain the situation to your OB. They are the ones that will give you the go-ahead or not.  

Answer 5

Consult you obstetrician and follow his/her advice. If you are still worried have your Oral Surgeon speak with your Obstetrician and plan the best of course of action together.  Keep in mind that surgery without adequate pain management could result in you going into shock and threaten the life of you and your baby.  

Answer 6

TO JUST GET THE TOOTH OUT YOU DON'T NEED TO BE PUT UNDER. FIND AN ORAL SURGEON THAT WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU.
