Hi. I'm 26 weeks, w/ my first baby. Just wondering how safe is it to go to the dentist. I have a really bad tooth ache!

Second trimester is safest time to have dental work done. Teeth cleaning is very important during pregnancy.

I went in my first trimester and my third trimester. I didn't need a medical clearance.

With my first son I went the day before I was due. I had actually made three appointments that day, went to two & had him nineteen hours later  ( due to something unrelated to the dentist ) GO FOR IT!!! Babies make our mouths dysfunctional, its okay. Ur doctor will tell you it's fine :) CONGRATS!!!
