Infection: Most probable cause of toothache is infection. Infection places your child at risk. Dental treatment will eliminate the infection. GO NOW!

Perfectly Safe: Your dentist will consult with your OBGYN if necessary. What is NOT safe for your baby is to ignore the problem... if you have an infection, that could spread to your bloodstream and result in additional issues. Call for an appointment
