dental work

I need to have a cavity filled. My dentist says it safe since I am sti ll in my second trimester but I am little nervous to have it done. Has anyone had dental work done while pregnant?

I had 2 teeth extracted @ 32 weeks and I was fine :) they should make you ask your OB for a release saying its ok

Im a dental assistant and im 22 weeks pregnant myself! Yes its safe. As long as he knows your pregnant everything will be fine:) he may use something to numb your gums but like I said as long as he's informed about your pregnancy I wouldnt stress it!
