I'm 31 weeks pregnant this week, and have a severe toothache. I seriously need to see a dentist, but I'm wondering if the dentist will be able to give me something like novacaine before he starts working. I've spoken to a lot of women who were pregnant in the past and they all say the dentist is out - unless I wanna brave it without a local. The idea of sitting there, without any anesthetic scares me to death. At the same time, I've gotta get this tooth fixed because I think it's starting to get an abscess... so obviously I can't postpone it until I've given birth.
So am I gonna have to suck it up and do it without anesthetic or should I get the string out and pull this tooth myself (okay - bad joke... but it sounds better than an hour of torture in a dentist's chair).
