I'd wait if you can, the pain is intense and you wouldn't want to be on pain meds. I had a root canal when I was 5weeks along and I didn't take any pain meds, and I was up for 3 days in excruciating pain. I had my wisdom teeth out years ago but the pain even while medicated was worse than the root canal. Put it off if you can... I think your dentist is crazy for saying he or she would do it. A wisdom tooth can wait! Don't put yourself through the misery!!
Yea I waited until after. I had to get 2 root canals & trust me I WAS IN HELLA PAIN! BUT I waited. Just because I needed to make sure I could get all tha sedation I needed.
Can it wait? I wouldn't want to do that while pregnant.
