Hi everyone,

So I need two side by side root canals which I had originally put off because they didn't want to do them while I was pregnant. Which was fine because they weren't causing me pain.

However, two nights ago, they started... Not hurting, but I could feel an issue. Like a slight throb at night. I took advil and was able to sleep and then stayed on advil for the rest of the day.

Yesterday I went into my dentist because I told them it was bothering them - the dentist checked it out told me if it's not causing me pain, then continue to manage it with advil and if the pain won't go away for 24-48 hours, to start an antibiotic which he gave me a prescription for. And that we could do them when this whole virus thing was over.

So this takes me to this past night, same thing. I could feel it a bit more but took advil. Because I've got a newborn, I'm waking up every few hours to feed, which is when I ststt noticing the throbbing again.

I've had a root canal before but that one was emergent as I couldn't sleep or eat or anything from the pain (my teeth are really week due to my calcium deficiency). I have slight PTSD from that experience and I'm worried it'll get escalated to that again and it's making me anxious.

Yesterday, Ontario posted a list of essential services that was to remain open during COVID-19. Dentists were one for emergencies. Because of my anxiety and the fact that it does seem to be getting slightly more noticeable. I jisy don't know what to do.

Should I call my dentist and ask if we can schedule it even though it's not imminently emergent? I also don't want to get a huge absess which can cause me more issues like getting a fever because I don't want it to be mistaken for COVID-19 which would make it that no dentist will see me

Sorry for the long post.

Any advice or insight is appreciated
