i thought i was having tooth pain but it was a sinus infection! i would definitely check that since your throat is hurting!

Yeah I will after my glucose test today, my whole side of my throat is swollen.. they say tooth pain is the worst pain that is very accurate. Weird how a sinus infection could imitate a tooth ache 😩

I’m a dental hygienist, you poor thing! Wisdom teeth can be extremely annoying and they love to flare up. Every dentist has a different routine but personally when I’m seeing a patient who is complaining of wisdom tooth pain I’ll have a look at the and the position of the wisdom tooth check for visible decay or abscess. If I think it’s simply a gum infection I’ll usually flush it the it out with a antiseptic rinses. If I suspect there could be more going on I’ll take an X-Ray they are completely safe in pregnancy if needed, they are very minimal radiation about the equivalent to 20 minutes on airplane and I always use a lead coat for extra protection. Good luck!

Thank you for commenting! Don’t stress I completely got what you wrote, I hope it’s nothing too serious because it’s really bringing me down especially being pregnant, I’ve been sick nearly all of this 7 months and now another thing to add to the list lol and I’m scared of dentists no offence 😂 I’m sure your amazing at what you do
