A pregnant adolescent has dental pain at eight weeks. What changes?
Treat pain/infection promptly; urgent care should not wait for the second trimester.
- Diagnose the source, use indicated imaging with optimized exposure, and review each medication.
- Coordinate with prenatal care when needed.
- The AAPD source cautions that nitrous may be contraindicated in the first trimester.
- Decide elective timing separately from urgent treatment.
