Suggest Treatment For Tooth Pain During Pregnancy
Hi,I'm pregnat and in 2nd trimester (14 weeks completed) now. I'm severely having tooth ache pain for the past 2 week, went to dental doctor and they told me to undergo root canal treatment. First day he started the root canal procedure and he cleaned the infected teeth. Next day morning I got fever and consulted gynecologist, doctor told me not to do root canal treatment now and it may affect baby. He told me to take imol and novomox for pain relief. Immediately I went to anoth dental doctor and closed the opened teeth without completing the root canal treatment. I'm taking imol plus and novomox for pain relief. Everyday I'm getting severe teeth pain. Is it advisable to do root canal root treatment now? Bcoz the pain is untolerable and not able to sleep properly. Kindly advice.

During pregnancy also considerable attention should be paid to the hygiene of the oral cavity, because hormonal changes can contribute to swollen and bleeding gums, increased sensitivity of the gums to the emergence of plaque and tartar.
The daily care of the teeth during pregnancy include:
- the need to brush your teeth at least two times a day and after each meal is obligatory to rinse the mouth of boiled water;
- to clean the teeth only use a soft toothbrush to prevent possible damage and bleeding gums;
- to stimulate the circulation of the blood after each brushing your teeth need to massage the gums pads of his fingers;
- after reception of the food will be necessary dental floss, the careful use of which will help to remove trapped food residues;
- the use of chewing gum without sugar after meals will help to avoid the emergence of dental plaque.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
You can undergo root canal treatment in the second trimester but you are not suppose to get exposed to radiation(X-rays). So consult a good endodontist and get the tooth cleaned and after that they will place a medicated dressing in the canals so that there will not be any further infection or pain. Once you deliver, you can get the root canal treatment completed.
You can continue the same medicines. But you have get the treatment done before third trimester.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
