Im 26 weeks and 3 days pregnant and i have a tooth abscess. I dont have a dentist but did manage to be seen by an emergency dentist last saturday. It tried to burst the abscess but wasnt abe to. He prescribed antobiotics and said to get a dentist when i can to have tooth removed (easier said than done). I have had the abscess for no more than 3 weeks. I took the antibiotics and the pain has gone, the swelling from my face has gone , im just left with a small lump. I do have a funny taste in my mouth in the morning , not sure if from abscess or just night breath (sorry tmi).
I called emergency dentist today then couldnt see me but said that the lump takes a while to go down. I asked what effects this could have on my baby , he was vague and didnt really answer. Just said to get seen. I am going to try and get in on friday but its hit and miss weather i can or not.
Im so scared this is going to kill my baby . Anyone have any experience with abscess in pregnancy. How long before treatment? was there any bad effects or anything? Im terrified.
