The whole process of pregnancy is both difficult and happy, and many pregnant women can taste all the ups and downs and cherish the child they give birth to. For some pregnant women, the pain during pregnancy may be caused by toothache. If a pregnant woman experiences toothache during pregnancy, it can affect her mood and subsequently impact the health of the fetus. So, what should pregnant women do if they have toothache?
Pregnant women with toothache need to first identify the cause of the toothache before seeking treatment. So when pregnant women have toothache, they can go to the hospital for examination. If a pregnant woman's toothache is caused by excessive body heat, it is necessary to first reduce heat and start with diet. Avoid eating spicy and fried foods, and consume foods that clear heat and reduce heat appropriately, such as bitter gourd, lily, etc.
If a pregnant woman's toothache is caused by oral diseases such as periodontitis, she should follow the doctor's advice and receive treatment. Generally, during the first three months of pregnancy, dental treatment is not suitable for pregnant women and only pain relief treatment can be performed. If you want to have a tooth extraction, you need to wait for the pregnant woman to give birth, otherwise it will affect the pregnant woman's physical health. Pregnant women who want to quickly relieve pain can place Sichuan peppercorns, ginger, etc. in the area of toothache to suppress the pain.
Alternatively, mix monosodium glutamate and water in proportion and rinse your mouth after each meal to relieve toothache. Pregnant women can also dilute salt into concentrated saline solution and apply it to the toothache area to relieve the pain. In addition, because of toothache, many pregnant women cannot eat normally, so they should prepare liquid food, such as Congee and noodles, to help them digest food.
