Very bad toothache on left molar. but i am pregnant, can i go to the dentist?

Absolutely yes!: Not only should you go but you have to go to protect both yourself and your unborn child. Not going exposes both of you to an eventual infection that can do harm. While there are certain restrictions on treatment, it is safe to have dental treatment within those guidelines. Have your OBGYN discuss with you and your dentist so you feel safe and confident with your treatment. Congrats!

Absolutely: Toothaches usually mean infection, which can be harmful to both you and your child. Please make an appointment immediately. Make sure to take a list of your meds with you to the Dentist, as well as your OB's name and phone number. Don't wait, call now.
