I've needed to go to the dentist to have my wisdom teeth pulled for quite a while. I know I know I should have gone already, but I haven't, because I JUST got my new insurance.
And, I just found out that I'm pregnant. I know that I would probably have to be under anesthesia because 3 of the wisdom teeth are still like, inside my gums, and I doubt that I should be under anesthesia while pregnant.
Also, being pregnant has me nauseous and sleepy and feeling blah enough, that I REALLY would rather wait until after I have my baby. It is causing me a little bit of pain every once in a while, like my jaw gets sore sometimes, but I think I'd rather deal with it until after I give birth.
But, one of the pregnancy booklets I got says that going to the dentist is important while you're pregnant? I've never heard that before?
Sorry I know it's alot of questions actually. Basically, the question is do I HAVE to go to the dentist or can I wait?
