I am 22 yrs. old and am 5 months pregnant. Six days ago, I experience numbing in the bottom left side of my mouth. The next day, pain came along with the numbness. The pain got worse and I thought it was a toothache because my teeth in that area became sensitive.
My husband took me to the dentist and we found out that it's probably inflamed tissues of the nerve that's located in that area (possibly due to infection or trauma). He showed me a chart of where the nerve begins and extends and that's the same area that I experience numbness and pain (all on the bottom left side).
He says he has never seen this before and all he can do is prescribe me amoxicillin. He says the amoxicillin won't harm the baby. But, if it doesn't clear up in a few days, or it gets worse (like the area starts to swell), then he may reffer me to a neurologist.
I am scared. I am also on beta-blockers for my heart and don't want to add more stress to the baby.
Has anyone had this happen before?

I am taking prenatal, and my teeth are perfectly healthy. The pain is coming from my nerve ending.
I also drink/eat things that have calcium and brush/floss my teeth twice a day.

The problem is NOT with my teeth. It is with my NERVE that's in my jaw. Just to clarify this with everyone.

pregnancy takes roll on your teeth!!!be lieve me, I know.I had perfect teeth before i got pregnant with my last child. But during my pregnancy my teeth went to crap.I now have like 5 cavities.When youre pregnant the baby takes all the nutruents or whatever out of your body..thats why you take prenatal vitamins.Just keep going to the dentist and getting the problem handled other wise if you wait it gets bad!!

wait out your pregnacy. my teeth or i should say gums were a mess. they bled everytime i brushed my teeth . then i had gum tumors which you get when your pregnant. all your teeth problems will go away when the baby is out. you should speak to your doctor you are seeing for your pregnacy before you do anything with the dentist.

Sounds like a calcium deficiency.
