Opinions on dentist during pregnancy?

So I'm getting a cavity on my front tooth and it's bothering the hell outta me!

I'm so scared to go to the dentist because I know they have to drug me to do anything like that and I'm very hard to numb so they always have to double up on meds on me and that scares me even more


So worried about hurting my little one but I have to take care of this before it gets worse!!

Any advice? Is it really safe to go to dentist during pregnancy?

I have 4 cavities and if my ob gives me the green light, I plan to get them taken care of. I went to the dentist to get a cleaning, thus finding out about the 4 cavities. I know some women who've gotten teeth extracted while pregnant, so I believe it's safe but I would consult your Dr first.
