The awful pains..

Lacey • Mommy to Sophia Kathryn 💕

I'm not talking about back pain this time, even worse.. tooth pain. I lack dental insurance and have let it go on for so long I'm in extreme pain.. I'm not sure how I'll pay for it but most importantly will it be safe for my little girl?? I'm 34 weeks along but this tooth has to get taken care of. I can hardly sleep or eat. I'm just so worried about harming her while I'm at the dentist. Can someone give me some insight or even advice on what I should do??

Most dental procedures are safe to do later in pregnancy. You might be surprised dental is not as expensive as you think! I would shop around and see I think you could get it for like 20-30 a month. Or call around and see if there is a dentist that takes payment plans. Being stressed from pain or possibly in pain from an infection is more of a risk to your baby 🙏 try to take care of it asap

I am 33 weeks now and about a month ago had a root canal, extraction and a bridge. My dentist wouldn't see me without a note from my OB and the only thing she said was can only have Tylenol for pain and no novacaine with eperneferine(sp) which means the numbing shots don't last long at all. Good luck. Nothing is worse than tooth pain especially when pregnant.
