Pain Relief During Pregnancy Posted: 08-08-05 12:39pm
Hi.
I just found out I was pregnant over the
weekend and then this morning I had to
have a root canal.
I was just wondering if there is anything
I can take for pain. Is it safe to take
tylonol or advil?

Make sure and tell them youre preg. Some
things from dentist can be bad.

I think they say advil is okay, I wouldnt
take it until I know for sure. Tylenol
can always be taken when preg.

My sister had two root canals a little
while back but she was in her second
trimester. Talk to your doctor. The
dentist wont give you anything unless you
have a note from you obgyn. My sister
did end up taking meds, talk to your
doctor before you take anything just to
make sure. They are always coming up
with new stuff.

I found out I was pregnant because I
needed x-rays at the dentist and they
wouldn't do them till I knew for sure if I
was or not. Then when I told them I was
they said they would not do my root canal
untill after I had given birth. You need
x-rays and stuff for those which are
extremelly dangerous for the fetus
especially during the first tri.
I was supposed to go for my root canal
last month after the birth of my son and I
put it off.-lol I think i'll wait till I
go back to work next may. Gimme and
excuse to take some time off-lol
