cleanings in 1st trimester is safe. 2nd trimester is when it is recommended to do any dental work. just not General anaesthetic and not the gas. I found this out in my research as I am 16wks today and needed dental work done.
I hope you are doing ok since your last post.
Hi,
I think you should see a dentist asap and get treated. Ok, major dental work is not recommended during pregnancy but the risk of getting an even worse infection / absess (which could even be life threatening to YOU not just your baby) with leaving things like they are would be even higher.
There are some antibiotics that can be used during pregnancy. Please go see a dentist. You need to get this addressed asap.
Best wishes

i doubt you have much to worry about i have seen plenty of malnourished ladies to have perfectly healthy babies, if your concerned see your gp, not everything can cross through to the baby via the placenta it generally protects the baby if any did get through it would be small amounts.
