What to do if you have tooth decay pain during pregnancy

Tooth decay is a dental problem that many children will have, because most children like to eat sweets. If they do not brush their teeth in time and thoroughly, it will lead to tooth decay. Some mild tooth decay has no symptoms and will not feel pain, but the decrease in body resistance during pregnancy will cause tooth decay pain. Tooth decay pain will directly affect eating, thereby affecting the baby's health. So, what should I do if I have tooth decay pain during pregnancy?

Tooth decay is caused by unclean oral cavity, which causes food residues to ferment and produce acids, eroding the tooth enamel and forming cavities. It is recommended that you go to the oral department of the hospital for examination and take X-rays in time. If the teeth can be retained, root canal treatment can be performed. If it is not very serious, you can take some anti-inflammatory drugs for pain relief. Remember to brush your teeth before going to bed every day, rinse your mouth with salt water after meals, and pay attention to oral hygiene.

It is recommended that you take garlic and mash it, apply it to the painful area after warming it to treat symptoms such as pulpitis, periodontitis and toothache. You can also hold MSG solution in your mouth for a while and spit it out. Do this several times in a row. After two days, the toothache will slowly ease. You can take penicillin and cephalosporin anti-inflammatory drugs, which will not affect the fetus.
