Question: A woman of 34 weeks pregnant and her last bottom tooth has hole and is paining her time to time Dentist advice that she should not remove the tooth due to the pregnancy What advice will you give her especially food to avoid perhaps like sugar to prevent the tooth from painting
Answer: Sorry about that
Wellthere is growing  controversy amongst dental practitioners as regardswhether a heavily pregnant woman should be allowed to undergo tooth extraction or notSome  dental experts have advocated for the removal of the source of pain arguing that if the source of pain is not eliminatedthe natural chemical substances released by the body in response to such pain can induce labourHoweveranother group of dental  experts saysit is better you delay the extractionremoval of tooth  till after delivery as long as there is no obvious spreading infection
PersonallyI would recommend that you follow what your dentist says in line with the second school of thought by delaying the extraction till deliverywhich can happen be any moment  from nowThis is because the process of trying to remove the tooth might be stressful for a heavily pregnant womanBesides the dental chair poisoning is somewhat uncomfortable for heavily pregnant womenwith the possibilty of the fetus compressing on the venae cavae and possibly bringing about dizziness or  fainting spells to the mother while on the dental chair

Howeversince you said there is an obvious hole on the said tooth id recommend that you avoid chewing using  with that side till when you are ready to remove the toothThis is becausechewing on the tooth will provoke pain as long as food enters into the hole
Furthermore kindly ask you dentist to prescribe a pain relieving drug for you so you can be safe from further pain
I hope my answer was helpful enough
