Success after IF

oh no! i chipped a tooth...

so, just a few seconds ago, i felt like something was stuck in my tooth (in the very back) and then a second later, a little piece of my tooth came off!!! it's killing me and I can feel it pulsing :(  crap! i have the worst teeth ever, and i take such good care of them!!! what's safe at the dentist again?

  • I have no idea what you can and can't do at the dentist but I hope it starts to feel better and he can do something to fix it!

  • Ouch!  I'm sorry to hear about the chipped tooth.  When I went to the dentist, she used epinephrine-free novacaine rather than the kind with it b/c the epinephrine can raise your heart rate.  She said there are no real studies that show the epinephrine is unsafe but they don't use it to be extra careful.  My OB had to fax over paperwork giving the dentist permission to clear me but I don't know if all dentists do that or not.  My OB did okay xrays but the dentist didn't do them.  GL!

  • The anxiety from the pain is the biggest problem... I am a dentist, and I am about where you are pg-wise, so I can see both sides.  If you need an x-ray, you can wear a gown and ask for a digital x-ray... they have less radiation.  It's probably best to just get the tooth fixed... if you were to get any kind of infection, that would pose a more serious problem. 

    Without seeing your mouth, it's hard to know, but I am sure your dentist will take good care of you.  Best of luck!
