Going to the Dentist While Pregnant
I am 15 weeks pregnant and on my tooth the filling came out. My question is.....Is it ok to get worked on while pregnant as far as a filling goes? I really need to get it taken care of before it leads to something worse like an infection. I have heard that xrays weren't good, but I won't need one of those just going to fix this one tooth and get a cleaning. I just wanted to know before I made the mistake of going if you shouldn't.
would the dentist need to give you anything like novacaine or nitrous oxide? i dont think either of those are cool while preggo but i would definitly call your obgyn just to be on the safe side. dentist would know too.
I went to the dentist while I was pregnant. Acording to the baby book experts, it's a good idea to keep your regular appointments because your unborn child can drain the calcium from your teeth - making you more vulnerable to cavities.
