Okay so I have been hoping the pain will go away but it isn't so I need to see a dentist.
Will they be able to do much while I'm pregnant though??

I saw a dentist at about the same stage you are. I had an abssess where my wisdom tooth was trying to come through. They suited me up and did an xray and gave me antibiotics until the absess disappeaed. A week later I had a local anaesthetic and they pulled the wisdom tooth.
Just as long as you let them know you're pregnant they'll be super careful, but yes they can still do quite a lot.

I had peridontal disease, they wanted to give me a local anesthetic for a clean (lol, because i'm a wuss and wouldnt hold still) but i bolted rather then have the injection - but the point is that they could do it. They can do heaps as long as they know - you should be fine. Good luck!

They used a slow acting anestetic which didn't really cover the pain but was better than nothing. Good to have my teeth mostly back in order now. THanks for the replies.

Glad your teeth are feeling better :-)

I worked as a dental assistant for 6 years and yup,we saw lots of pregnant women,in various stages of pregnancy (was a great time waster when they were big enough for me to see the baby kicking, the procedures weren't as boring for me lol )
So long as you let the dentist know you are pregnant they will make sure they don't use anything they shouldnt and will use anesthetics that are safe in pregnancy.
