Just had a dentist appointment the dentist confirmed I have tooth decay and they symptoms I'm describing it's affecting the nerve but Bec I can't have an X-ray Bec I'm pregnant there's no real way to treat it she said she advise I wait until after the baby's born but I heard that certain tooth issues can effect pregnancy for e.g pre term labour so kind of worried the dentist also recommended root canal treatment but she said Bec of covid they ain't taking any appointments for it

As long as tooth decay not being a problem during pregnancy I'm more than okay with waiting until the baby's born

The dentist wouldn't have said it was ok to wait if it was dangerous to do so. Don't worry.
