Seeing Ur dentist is important during pregnancy for preventive care. Also if you have a cavity it can lead to an infection that can harm your baby. As a dental assistant I can say dental hygiene is important during pregnancy. Studies are showing that plaque in you mouth is link to plaque un your blood vessels.

Most dental procedures are completely safe, and you should absolutely see your dentist for regular checkups throughout your pregnancy. Dental issues can cause a lot of problems so they should not be put off during pregnancy. Just let them know before hand that you are pregnant and if you need a procedure run it by your OB for reassurance.

Yes! I had a really bad infection that led to an abcess that had to be drained i had 2 pulpotomy and 2 root canals! I was in so much pain i coulnt eat or sleep let alone function. I took tylenol with codiene and felt guilty about it. All is well now i even had 2 cleanings just in case. Good luck feel better!!

Yes you can get dental work done just let them know ahead of time you are expecting so they can use all precautions necessary

3 of my wisdom teeth came in while in pregnant and I'm terrified of the dentist and just really don't want to go.
