Why do I have toothache at night after pregnancy?

During pregnancy, many pregnant women will encounter various problems, such as toothache, which will be more severe at night and make it unbearable for these pregnant women. However, for the sake of fetal development, it is forbidden to take medication during pregnancy, otherwise it will harm the fetus in the womb. However, pregnant mothers cannot just ignore the treatment. They can first understand the cause and then find the appropriate treatment.

1. Usually tooth pain is caused by tooth decay. If the decay is too deep, it can cause infection of the dental nerve. It usually manifests as pain from hot or cold stimulation, biting pain, spontaneous pain, night pain, etc. This is a symptom of pulpitis. The treatment method is to go to the oral department for root canal treatment of the teeth, remove the infected dental nerve, and then put medicine in the root canal for anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, and then fill it up after the inflammation is eliminated. Oral treatment will not affect your pregnancy. You just need to avoid anesthesia and X-rays. Medication is useless.

2. If the pain is caused by the growth of wisdom teeth, you only need to go to the oral department for local reconstruction. The pain will no longer occur after the inflammation is eliminated, and it will not affect your pregnancy. If you don't seek treatment, the tooth pain will continue, you won't get enough rest, and the fetus won't get enough rest either. Therefore, for the good development of your child, you should eliminate the pain as soon as possible.

There are two "culprits" that cause these pregnant mothers to suffer from toothache at night. One is caused by tooth decay, and the other is caused by the growth of wisdom teeth. Although these two reasons will not affect the baby in the belly, pregnant mothers must seek treatment, otherwise it will affect the mother’s sleep and will not help the baby’s development.
