You can get xrays if you have to. Just let them know your pg and they will double shield you. I had a root canal and filling done at 29 weeks. They use a different type of numbing medicine that doesn't affect the baby. Expect a little bit more bleeding as the pp stated due to sensitive gums. Some dentist wilk require a Dr. Note before treatment though :)
Kool. This is my third pregnancy and I just heard I could go to the dentist! I need to go badly!
Your doctor can give you a list of safe procedures and medicines to give to the dentist. I had a wisdom tooth pulled with numbing stuff and had a few fillings while pregnant. I know you can't have gas but your doctor can make a list for the dentist if you want :)
My doc faxed my dentist a letter sayin wat they were ok with and want they weren't. If u get work done and need a shot make sure it doesn't have epinephrine iin it. (Spelling may be off). Expect a lil bleeding too just cause of sensitive gums. O and no laughing gas!

I'm going to ask my Dr if its okay though.
I've went wen I was 23 weeks & he told me that i had to wait till after I had the baby to do anything but I could come in for regular cleaning not to mention I've been have bad tooth problems for about two weeks ugh
They wouldn't do any kind of xrays on me when I told them that I'm prego. So make sure you tell them! :).. other then that it was just a regular dentist appointment. They cleaned my teeth an checked to see if I have any cavities. :)
Im 17+3 weeks ATM and yesterday I went to my dentist, everything was just regular. She was cleaning my teeth and checked for any problems :p in my country dental visit is free during pregnancy so I will use it AS many times AS possible :D
I just found out I have a cavity and lucky enough I'm in the second trimester so I can get it fixed... No xrays though! It's not safe
I went when I was 8weeks and im 24 weeks now and need to go again. Its the same as all dental appointments. Just ask for an extra xray vest if u get xrays and also they have something thats like novacain idk how to spell it. Anyway ask for that, it doesnt have something in it that novacain does that makes that babys heart beat faster.
