What is the best time to be extracted if your a pregnant?6months pregnant?!
Question: what are things to consider.
Answers: what are things to consider.
A tooth extraction can be performed at any time during a pregnancy. Usually the middle trimester is preferred, but if you're in pain then anytime is fine.
You may safely have Xrays taken - after all, he's Xraying your teeth, not your abdomen. Lead aprons are not necessary with modern digital machines.
The most common local anaesthetic (LA) is lidocaine with epinephrine and this is fine too. A relatively uncommon LA, prilocaine with felypressin should be avoided as the felypressin can stimulate contractions, altho you'd need a big dose to be worried about it.
Don't try and wait till the end of the pregnancy or you might end up with more serious pain and infection, and then require stronger painkillers and antibiotics.
extracted??????
you need to talk to your dentist
It sounds like you're talking about abortion. In this case.. the earlier the better.
In the first few weeks, a fetus can be aborted by drugs or a saline injection into the uterus.
Later on in the pregnancy, the fetus will need to be physically removed from the uterus either by curettage (scraping) or vacuum suction.
Depending on the country, a fetus may legally be aborted up to about 24 weeks of age or 6 months (end of 2nd trimester).
This is the LATEST that the surgery may be performed but most doctors may refuse if it is past 18 weeks. Third trimester abortions are illegal in most countries unless the fetus is exerting a fatal influence on the mother's health.
The stage of development of the fetus plays a large role in determining what procedure is used and how much damage may be caused to the mother. Also one must consider the psychological impact of losing a child (even unwanted) on the mother herself.
I advise you to make a decision as soon as possible, with guidance from an abortion counsellor, to avoid any possible complications.
P.S If you're talking about teeth.. please for the love of god make your question clearer. And it doesn't matter.. tooth extraction won't harm the child unless general anaesthesia is involved.
