Thank you
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Yes the tooth will take a little time to come out in correct position. Since you're in your fifth month of pregnancy, u can only take penicillin and paracetamol for pain.Don't have to worry about lockjaw causing death, just relax and take the medicines your dentist have prescribed. Once the tooth is in position it will be alright. Continue doing warm saline gargles and keep your oral hygiene good so that the area does not get infected. Also get an X-ray done to know the exact position of the tooth. Hope this was beneficial. Thanks and warm regards.
