is it best to get a abcessed tooth out bleeds alot 26 weeks prego dentist gave me option to try n sav  it  or extract it but he said the tooth looks done an i have to make a decision quick i would like to sav  it but dont think it can be done im sick of it gushing blood wen i bearly touch it brushing my teeth. help its a back tooth but i keep putting it off because i jusdont like to think of it being a big gap definetly cant afford to get it replaced right now

If the dentist says it looks done I would just get it pulled..... If its loose and u try to save it, down the road u might end up having to get it pulled anyways.

I've had a back tooth out for years. I remember being super nervous about missing a tooth (thiking I'd look hillbilly -ish ) but I forget It's missing most the time and NO ONE notices. Get it taken care of so the infection doesn't spread. Good luck.

Get it out...abscess can lead to bad infection and that could be harmful to ur baby...I had my back to pulled 2 weeks ago its kind of weird having a missing tooth but better safe than sorry

[samanthamariee]

plus that tooth has bone loss so i dont think it could be saved

[samanthamariee]

back.tooth . gum is swollen around it and i jus got a deep.cleanimg on.the rest of my teeth so i dont want infectiom to spread

If it's in n the back just pull it. It's cheaper and less painful. I have one that I have to get pulled after baby arrives

Coming from someone with bad teeth, it depends on how far along you are. Get it taken care of before it affects the baby.

Unfortunately that decision is mostly what you can do financially. Sounds like a root canal and crown to save it. It also sounds like the dentist thought with treatment it might not last, if I understood that correctly. If the tooth doesn't have a good prognosis, then get it out. There are options when you are ready to replace that tooth like a bridge or implant (both a bit spendy). If you can though, I would save it. It is usually cheaper for a root canal and crown than the options above. Plus, nothing compares to your natural teeth. What a hard thing to go through right now for you. Especially when you are already spend in big bucks on doctor bills and getting ready for a little one. Good luck!
