Hi

I had my wisdom tooth extracted (3 of them) last week with local anaesthetic and based on dentist' advice had to take Tylenol with Codeine for pain.

I took only 3-4 of the tablets so far and managing with regular tylenolol.

I am worried about the baby if local anaesthetic and codeine will have any side effects.

Please share anything you know on this topic.

Thanks

the problems with the teeth occur to a lot of pregnant ladies , due to harmonal changes. i had problem with my 4 wisdom tooth, my gynec advised me to get them extracted before i was planning for a baby. my dentist and my gynec both repeatedly advised me that after conceiving , getting these kind of extractions done is not good.
especially because of the use of antibiotics.
this is the little info i had , which i wanted to share, may be this will be helpful to u.
bye

I am sorry I don't have an answer for you but a question. What type of anesthesia were you given? I have to get a molar extracted (old root canal is acting up)? Was one type of anesthesia preferred over others due to your pregnancy?

Hope your pain has subsided. I am really upset that I have to get this done during pregnancy. I go for checkups regularly and it was never an issue until now.
