Swollen gum at the back
I’m having swollen gum at the back of my left side of teeth, it’s painful that I can’t open my mouth fully at all, I can’t eat well due to that. Any advice please .. I don’t wanna go see dentist . I scared they will ask me to pluck my tooth I’m currently at 19weeks
It’s actually okay to remove a tooth/wisdom tooth after trimester 1 as per my gynae. I have an impacted bottom wisdom tooth and a chipped top wisdom tooth which hurts once in awhile to the extend I can’t sleep. My dentist did told me to think about whether I want to remove it when I enter trim 2 but i didn’t go for it because I’m afraid of the injection before they remove the tooth. (currently 33 weeks) So far… I didn’t take any medications, I just gargle salt water non stop when it hurts. If you can take Panadol, take Panadol (the most basic one), if you’re allergic like me…. Then you can only try the salt water method and endure it.
