34w2d: I just broke a tooth

Eating nuts.

A molar.

I have no idea what to do.

Calls in to OB, doctorsister, and my dentist.

I've never even had a cavity, and now I break a tooth while pregnant???

I certainly don't advise it but I recently had a back molar broken right in half and didn't do anything about it for over 6 weeks. Until then there was oddly no pain and I'm dentist-phobic. By the time I saw a dentist the pain was excruciating and it was infected. Had the molar pulled. I learned a lesson: teeth don't get better over time. Call an emergency dentist. Don't they say "you lose a tooth with every pregnancy"? :( Good luck.

I'm sure they can put a temporary crown in (no anesthesia required) and fix it permanently post partum. Don't worry!

They'll just do a temp fix until you can get it fixed permanently. No worries!

Oh no! I hope you can get that taken care of! How random! On a nut???
