Hi everyone
I am 32 weeks pregnant. I broke a back tooth today at lunch, it has a big 'silver' filling in it which is still hanging in there. The broken tooth chip is on the inside of the teeth (nearest roof of my mouth)
Has anyone has this happen to them whilst pregnant? I went to the dentist at 20 ish weeks and was told I need a filling which the dentist wouldnt do until the baby is born.
Will they be able to do anything with this? What can they do? Stressing.com! I find going to the dentist quite traumatic as it it :-(
Also I had to go private last time because no NHS dentists round me (Peterborough) were taking on new patients.. so am also worried I am going to have to spend a fortune on a lot of work as I can't use my exemption card... (don't want to leave half filling hanging out too long either)
Argh! Looks like I will be ringing round dentists tomorrow morning to see what options I have.. but in the mean time can anyone advise?
