Hi Dr. I am pregnant with 26 weeks and having server pain with one of my tooth and dentist suggested that root can has to be done but it is not advised during this stage. What should I do as no way pain is reducing, its unbearable. Please help Shubhangi
Thanks for your query, root canal treatment can be done, but you can't get exposed to radiation.you can consult an endodontist and get the access cavity preparation done and removal of the infected pulp.and take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and paracetamol...the infection will come down and after delivery you can get the rest of the treatment done...I hope my answer will help you.take care.
