Pregnant women are very restricted during pregnancy and cannot eat many things. Not only in terms of eating, but even when sick, medication should not be taken casually. Improper medication can cause irritation to the baby, and in severe cases, even lead to malformed fetuses. What should be done if wisdom teeth inflammation occurs in late pregnancy?
It depends on the medical situation. If the inflammation is mild, considering the baby in the abdomen, the treatment method must be the safest. Rinsing with mouthwash is the safest method. During pregnancy, it is important to pay attention to oral hygiene, rinse your mouth promptly after eating, and brush your teeth before going to bed at night to avoid worsening inflammation. You can also go to the dentist and ask the doctor to help with medication and cleaning. After a week of continuous cleaning, the inflammation will disappear.
However, it is not recommended to remove wisdom teeth because before removing them, it is necessary to take an X-ray to check the position and growth of the wisdom teeth, and pregnant women are not allowed to undergo X-ray examination. And when wisdom teeth are extracted, anesthesia is needed, which can also have many side effects on babies. As long as the inflammation can be controlled, do not use the method of extracting wisdom teeth to solve it. You can also rinse the inflamed area with hydrogen peroxide or saline solution at home, but be careful not to swallow it during cleaning.
To avoid difficulties with medication during pregnancy, try to eliminate potential health hazards before pregnancy. Teeth also need to be examined, and those that require repair should be repaired in advance to eliminate all potential diseases before conception.
