I have been in agony since friday. I think it is an abcess under my crown at the back. The pain has now spread right round the jaw to my ears and my chin. My necks glands are swollen too.
I have used all the gels going, clove oil, ice packs, cocodamol, corsodyl, etc but nowt is working. I was started on 500mg amoxicillin tds. The out of hours dentist said she would do nothing as i am pregnant.
I called my MW today who consulted with the consultant. They would be perfectly happy for me to have the tooth out. Rather that than get a major systemic posioning. Which i really fear as i have nursed people who have had scepticeamia after not sorting out a tooth abcess.
I am in agony all the time. I cant sleep and i woke at 1am this morning. Had a cup of tea then got sweaty and passed out. The pain is making me so tired and feel ill.
I have an appointment with my nhs dentist this morning. If she doesnt take it out i am afraid i will either rip it out myself or go private. As crude as it is i know they will take it out for the money as i have alreday had some quotes after telling them i am pregnant.
I know some people that have had dental work whilst pregnant.
Anyone else?
I know the local anaesthetic they use does not pass to the placenta. The dentist yesterday said they dont like to traumatise the body by extracting a tooth but i am traumatised more right now.
