answers 0:I am 34 weeks pregnant. Healthy pregnancy. Second pregnancy. I've moved and my dentist is 8 hours away. I called dentist around where I live now and they say it will take 4-5 weeks to get a root canal done. And they do a complete one. Just take out the main nerve and do the rest after delivery.They need a consultation ect.... I know I can call my dentist and he will perform the procedure. (Hopefully)I will be 35 weeks at that point. My OB said the cutoff was 34 weeks to travel. She wasn't going to tell me no, but just said the cut off is 32-34 weeks. Should I go and get it taken care of? If not, will the infection harm my baby? Does infection like this cause preterm labor? Should I try and deal with the extreme pain until after delivery or what?...Show moreanswers 1:I have a hole in one of my teeth that ! because there is no room to get to it the dentist wanted to remove the tooth. After much research I cut ALL cane sugar and honey out of my diet. After a couple of weeks the ache completely disappeared and nearly two years later the hole is no bigger and the tooth is still there. If you have to wait that long, try removing sugar from your diet and see if it will reduce the pain. I use maple syrup or fruit for sweetening. If you don't want to risk travel during your pregnancy it might be worth the wait....answers 2:waiting can cause preterm labor if an infection is present, from what I have read. If you decide to travel the eight hours then make sure you do not go alone and you make frequent stops to stretch your legs.answers 3:No Way . Dont wait. I had to have a million procedures done when I was pregnant with my 3rd and everything was fine. I never waited until after delivery for anything because it had to be done. And just to let you know, dont worry about preterm ! delivery at your time. One of my sons was born at 34 weeks and! he was extremely healthy and great, and went home with me 2 days later when I went home. Just like a regular newborn. I would think infection is not good for the baby if it gets extreme, but I dont see how you can stand it by that point anyways. Id rather have a million babies than a bad infected tooth. That is ten times worse! Ouch. ... Its just better to get it done and you yourself dont need to be in pain....answers 4:well dental work should be done if possible. it can be painpul. i needed a root canal during pregnancy, and i just waited till after the baby was here, but i am just a chicken when it comes to denesits. if your not in pain then i would leave it. also i traveled by airplane at 34 weeks and 36 weeks.answers 5:i had a similar problem at about 35 weeks, i had to have my tooth extracted.... my doctor said that it was safe to have it taken out although this worried me... i did not get any anesthetic of course, but was given an "adrenaline shot" by the dentist a! nd then had the tooth taken out, it was quiet painful, however the relief of having it out and knowing that it hadn't harmed my baby was worth it. i suggest that you do what feels right for you. good luck, i know that the pain must be unbearable......
