So, you are in a dental chair, and the doctor discovers you have problematic teeth that require immediate treatment or removal. Naturally, in such a situation the question may arise: "Is it possible to use anesthesia during pregnancy? "The doctor will tell you what you can, but only with special means.
Careful with anesthesia, pregnant women should be for many reasons. The fact is that some medicines have a teratogenic effect - the ability to cause ugliness in the fetus; can also weaken your child's organism or cause pathological reactions in your body that can badly affect pregnancy.
In order that there are no absurd cases of negligence, a pregnant woman should know that for anesthesia you can use only drugs that do not contain adrenaline and its derivatives in its composition. It is also undesirable to use anesthetics of questionable quality. The main condition of the drug for pregnant women is: the inability of the drug to penetrate the placental barrier. This is exactly what you should check with your doctor when treating teeth with anesthesia. To date, anesthetics suitable for pregnant women are drugs, derivatives of articaine ("Ultrakain", "Ubistezin"). As a rule, anesthetics are administered to pregnant women in small doses, which is why their actions are short-lived. If the sick tooth is complicated in the treatment, then it will be necessary to come to the dentist more than once.
But, if you are the strong spirit of a lady and do not fear pain, and the doctor persuades you to treat your teeth with anesthesia, then you should weigh all the pros and cons. On the one hand, the less "chemistry" gets into the body of a pregnant woman, the better, and on the other, an unexpected pain shock can lead to unpleasant, if not disastrous, consequences. It will be best to discuss this issue with your dentist, and knowing the "depth" of the problem, he will tell you how painful the treatment will be.
It may happen that the doctor does not have the right anesthetic, you should not wave your hand and say: "Oh, do as you are! "A dentist is not a wolf, as is known, will not run away into the forest. It is better to buy the right product in the pharmacy and take it with you next visit.
Do not forget that the treatment with anesthetic teeth is required cautiously: in cases that exist before pregnancy allergic reactions to anesthetics, you need to warn the doctor. In this case, before the introduction of a new medication, the nurse must conduct a skin-scarification allergic test in order to detect the presence or absence of allergies to this remedy. This procedure is not terrible: on the forearm the nurse will apply a pair of scratches with a needle to which a small amount of anesthetic diluted with saline will be applied, and the other pair - just saline, for comparison. If the reaction is normal, the site of impact will not change.
It is necessary to know one more important factor - the treatment or extraction of teeth under anesthesia of pregnant women is strictly contraindicated, because drugs of general anesthesia penetrate the placental barrier and can have an impact on the child. And, most likely, no dentist will undertake this.
So, if you want to treat a teeth with anemia with pregnancy, do not be afraid, the main thing is to be aware of this issue, because you are warned, then you are armed!
