Has anyone got dental work done while pregnant? I know it is best to get it in the second trimester and the will use minimal local anesthetic but it still makes me nervous. I have a bad tooth ache and I am almost positive it is a cavity but I am nervous to get work done.

View 2 RepliesI have TN on both sides which was cause by hospital dental work (i still need some teeth pulling) someone has just upset me so much.
They said that because i have it both sides that an MVD operation would not work as there is a compression of the nerve and this is much less likely to be the cause of bilateral TN.

After many dental visits and x rays, I was referred to a Head,Neck and Ear clinic where the doctor believes I have Trigeminal Neuralgia-quite possibly the result of dental work. He has referred me to a neurologist and am awaiting that appointment. I was issued an rx for pain management but have decided to wait and see the neurologist for further info and treatment, as I react to so many drugs.
Anyone else suffering from this? And if so, can you please relate your experiences? Am in somewhat of a fog right now, trying to wrap my head around how this can come from dental procedures.
I have suffered from TMJ in the past but it always cleared up when the bite was adjusted properly. My latest dentist changed my bite with a filling on one side and then ground down the opposite side so it would match. The side he ground down was the "good side" as the other had been ruined and ground down previously because of a root canal. The result are teeth that are much to short and a bite that is all over the place. The facial pain is intense even after I went to another dentist who further adjusted me. It seems as though no one really knows what they are doing...everyone tells me I'm "ok" now and shuffles me off. I honestly feel like a don't have teeth on one side and all the natural ridges have been shaved off ALL the bottom teeth at this point. Frustration does not even cover what I am feeling. Does anyone know how on earth to fix this mess or what type of dentist can best alter the bite for the better. A month ago I was perfect..pain free for over a year and now I feel like a zombie who cannot talk or eat or do anything without extreme facial pain. I'm hoping someone clever can build it up properly or maybe do crowns or onlays ( all very tricky when you have tmj). One dentist offered me the little mouth guard ( the one who messed me up) I felt like yelling fix what you messed up and stop trying to sell me things I didn't need before you touched me. Just wondering if anyone ever suffered from the "too short ground down teeth" dilemma and if anyone was able to fix it. I've been living on pills that have done little to help for over a month.
View 4 RepliesI had an old filling that the tooth brook wednesday. No pain. so friday went to dentist. He said it hadn't reached the nerve so he could build it up and put a crown on it. Went yesterday to have the build up work and the temporary crown. as soon as the anesthetic wore off i started hurting. i have been taking 400 mg of ibuprofen all day. I just took a picture of the inside of my tooth where it hurts the most and the gum is white around the tooth. is the throbbing pain and the white gums normal? will this go away?
View 1 Repliesall my teeth hurt on one side, I went to the dentist and they find no infections so they made me a night guard. my teeth are so sensitive and painful I don't know how to get any relief. I was diagnosed with tmj years ago and pain has never been like this. Can this pain in my teeth be from tmj?
View 1 RepliesI'm almost 25 and have constant problems with my teeth I brush , floss and use mouthwash at least twice a day sometimes more , I have phobias of the dentist and eating hard foods I also will not have a photo taken for the embarrassment of my teeth, even seeing the dentist embarrasses me. Anyway to cut a long story short I had a failed crown due to gum damage and needed an extraction at the front and a bridge fitted. Although I'm still feeling pain in this area. I have been back and forth the dentist with excruciating pain in my jaw ears and what I was convinced of back lower molar, the dentist is at his wits ends as although I've had a lot of work done and do have problematic teeth he cannot find any infection or decay abscess etc that could be causing me excruciating pain , it is possible that I may need a top tooth extracted as it has a very large filling and is tender to touch. I've had a few root canals over the past year but nothing is working .So my dentist possibly thinks I have neuralgia and prescribed carbamazepine 200 mg twice a day for 3 days and not taking pain killers . The pain has definitely died down but the ache is still there so I think it is not neuralgia and there is a problem he is missing in so petrified of losing my teeth being so young !

View 5 RepliesI've got terrible toothache under a crown on an upper back molar ... wonderful kind dentist has drilled through crown and "cleaned it out" and put me on 1,500 mg amoxicillin per day for 7 days - going back next week, hopefully for root canal. My problem is, I expected to feel BETTER after yesterday;s "clean out" of roots and starting antibiotics but awake half the night last night in terrible pain and felt far too ill to go to work. Pain is making me cry! Taking Nurofen "migraine strength" ibuprofen & lysine and oddly, swilling with boiling hot salt water provides relief even though I can feel throbbing. Has anyone been here? Can anyone tell me what to expect? I don't want to bother dentist if I dont have to as he's already been absolutely fantastic and I feel such a wimp ... but must try to get back to work.

So I find that these sea bands work. This is our fourth pregnancy and so far it's miserable. I can't eat anything and I stay nauseated. My husband and I own a business and have several dinner date with clients.he says my sea bands are in formal. I agree people tends to ask questions about why I have bands on my arms. I am only 8 weeks and ginger gum doesn't work for me. The nauseating feeling is horrible. Is there any other thing that works especially when I am on these formal events?
