3rd Trimester

had a tooth pulled today

Crying I had a bad crown and it caused the tooth to fracture and I lost it completely so it had to be pulled. Usually they put you under for that, but bc of the baby I did it with just Novocaine. I'm surprisingly ok for now. Let's see what happens with the pain later!

Anyone know if Tylenol with codeine is ok to take?

Re: had a tooth pulled today

  • I had some dental work done last week, and my ob prescribed me generic Vicodin.  I guess it's a stronger form of Tylenol or something.  You should be fine, is it Tylenol #3?

  • yes--it's tylenol 3.
  • The oral surgeon I worked for never Rx'd Tylenol #3 or Vicodin for our preg patients.

    He always leaned on the conservative side and just recommended OTC Tylenol and warm salt water rinses 24hrs post-op.

  • thanks ladies.  Im going to try to stick it out with just regular tylenol.
  • i had a tooth pulled a week ago today.  over the weekend the pain increased and i ended up having dry socket which was pretty painful.  i HAD to take tylenol every 4-5 hours to function.  i had to wait through the weekend (while working my full bartending shifts) and it was not fun.  went back on monday and he packed it with iodine and oil of clove which made me feel instantly better.  if you experience any pain i would call right away.  this is the worst case, not to be a debbie downer but that's my story.  good luck.  i stuck to extra strength tylenol, but if you heal right you should be fine after a day or two. 

    thank you for your post.  i thought i was the only one having to get a tooth pulled pregnant style.  

    i have never posted or replied on here before but felt inclined to do so after reading you post! 

    all my best! be strong.  at least now i know my pain tolerance ;)

  • Thank you so much for replying! I thought I was the only one to have to get my tooth pulled while pregnant too. So far I'm ok...just very sore. I hope it stays that way!!
