At 12 weeks pregnant I began to have pain in my wisdom tooth but the dentist said he couldnt remove it because he couldnt x-ray the tooth. Instead I was given enthromycin to take ( i am allergic to penicillin).
I didnt always remember to take it on time but when I did remember, I took it. The pain seemed to subside for some months so I assumed the medication had done its job despite that I took it erratically.
Now I am almost 38 weeks pregnant and the pain has returned worse than ever! I am currently on about 4 paracetemol a day - the paracetemol works, but I just wonder whether its just better to get the tooth removed altogether now.
Are x-rays safe at this later stage fo pregnancy, or is it still dangerous? And in general is it safe to have the tooth yanked out at this late stage?
