Visitor asks:
Hello. I would very much like to become pregnant, but I have one problem. One tooth has already been closed, but the problem is that it hurts and pus drains into my mouth, and I would like to know whether this can affect the baby because I also have bad breath because of it. I told my dentist that it hurts, but he said everything is fine. Do teeth and dental caries have a major effect on the baby? Thank you for your answer. Should I become pregnant or should I first have my teeth treated? It will take a long time, but I would like to become pregnant now.
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
There are studies that could associate the condition of a pregnant woman's teeth and periodontal tissues with certain problems concerning the child, but nothing definite. In any case, I advise you to have your teeth treated as soon as possible, since certain procedures (X-rays, extractions...) are contraindicated during pregnancy.
Have a nice day!
