Tylenol...

Hey ladies!
So I had a tooth pulled this morning
(I went in thinking I was just getting
molded for a crown, but it turned out my
tooth was cracked in half so they needed
to yank it...) 
Anyway, obviously I can't take
anything more than Tylenol for the pain,
but my question is, how much is safe to
take in 1 day while pregnant? I took 2
this morning after the procedure, and now
my mouth is hurting pretty badly, but I'm
afraid to take any more in case it's not
good for my little bean...Any advice would
be much appreciated! Thanks so much,
lovelies!

I think Motrin would be better because it
will reduce the swelling, or anything with
Ibuprofen in it. Ask your pharmacist what
is safe.

No. Bridget it right. You can't take
ibuprofen (motrin) when you are pregnant.
You can continue to take the tylenol as it
says on the bottle though. OR if you are
worried (because we aren't medical
professionals), you can always call your
doctor's nurse on the phone and ask her.
She will let you know what you can take
and how much of it you can take.

She can't use orajel either. It is a fresh
wound. She can rinse her mouth out with
salt water. When you have an open wound in
your mouth like that, you have to watch
out for dry socket - so no sucking on
straws or using anything directly on the
hole that might remove the blood clot. It
would take longer to heal that way.

I would ask the obgyn cuz if your in alot
of pain they might be able to give you
something different that is still safe
depending on how far along you are. I had
a tooth pulled while pregnant but it
really didnt hurt to bad.

I thought you couldn't get any dental work
done while pregnant? my friend has a tooth
that needs pulled and has yet to have it
done because she was pregnant...
but yea, it seems you can only take the
weakest meds while preggo, which really
sucks if your tolerance is high. But you
can take as much as directed on the
bottle.

I had to wait on my wisdom teeth, b/c my
obgyn wouldn't let them pull it while I
was pregnant with AVa.

all doctors are different but its ok to
get dental work done as long as they dont
use anesthesia (sp?) local numbing meds is
what they have to use.
my doctor has a list of things they can
and cant do during pregnancy.
tylenol is all you can take and you can
take it as regularly directed.

Thanks for the advice, ladies!
Yeah, I actually had a root canal
on this tooth and was going in to get a
crown put on, but it got really weak after
the root canal and broke in half, so the
dentist just had to pull it.  He
just used novacaine; I checked with my
OBGYN before my appt. to make sure that
was okay!
I've taken 3 Tylenol in the past
24 hours, so I'm hoping that'll do the
trick. My mouth definitely isn't as sore
today as it was yesterday, so that's good
anyway. Thanks again for the help, girls!!

that's what happened to my mom. She had a
root canal and her tooth ended up falling
out before they could cap it... the things
dentists will do to save money...
3 in 24 hours is less than recommended, so
you'll be FINE. I hope the pain continues
to go down!
