Is it necessary to go for extraction for decayed tooth during pregnancy?-Dr. Ajaz Pasha K M

During pregnancy, extraction is again a controversial thing as agreed by most of the doctors. Extraction, if it is rarely required, it has to be diagnosed properly and depends on when the pregnant lady is entering the clinic. Most of them apart from the gynaecologist, even the dental doctors don’t have the knowledge of dental lasers because if you are using the dental lasers, it can be done at any trimester of pregnancy, the second thing is ofcourse seething related to gums that can be postponed, yes, we do something called as operculectomy, that can be done and it can be postponed and ofcourse extraction can be postponed later after pregnancy, the patient is very happy with whatever we do related to operculectomy. If the problem persists even after the operculectomy is done, and that can be done even with the laser that is completely bloodless, painless and the patient need not have any tablets, which is more controversial when they meet the gynaecologist why this can be taken or not or is this tablet can be stopped. So there is a lot of controversy with the antibiotics or painkillers. So the best way to go is, we use the spray or gel to take out the operculectomy procedure and then it can be done easily with that, If the problem persists, it can be done extraction, at any give time of pregnancy. Not only extractions, even minor surgical procedures also can be done with lasers is completely safe.
