I would not suggest to go for any treatment right now . Wait till the delivery, visit your dentist & just follow a precautionary measures like the toothpaste & mouthwash prescribed by them for relief & follow a good oral hygiene at home , as these things are common during pregnancy due to hormones.

In cases of emergency if the dentist thinks an extraction is the only solution and if it impairs your health , it may be suggested.
Ideally temporary treatment is given till the baby is born, since stress can also induce labor.
Next Steps
Please do check if itâs a decay related pain or gum related.

Hello mam
Firstly Congratulations for your pregnancy, I would not advise you to go for any kind of treatment now as you say your due date is in 15days. It’s not safe for you to expose yourself under an X-ray, without which dentist cannot reach a conclusive diagnosis.
Sometimes the pain in pregnancy is because of the hormonal changes. You can expect pain to subside on own after delivery. For now you can consult your OB-GYN for a pain killer.

Lets open the root canal and remove the pulp . Or irrigating the canals and leaving for few weeks is a good option .
Next Steps
Patient should ask for root canal cleaning only .

Hi,
I suggest you meet a dentist and get a consult done. Undergoing any dental procedure at this stage of your pregnancy is not advisable. Visit the dentist to know the cause of the tooth pain and get it treated after your delivery.
