I'm actually going to the dentist today. As far as xrays they will be putting like a protective coat on you to protect you and the baby so nothing will happen to your baby. You will just need a referral from your OB so they can work on your teeth.

My OB recommended getting them cleaned during my second trimester. Just make sure that you tell them that you are pregnant!

I had dental work done at like 23 weeks. It wasn't bad. They said when you're pregnant your gums and mouth is more sensitive. Just make an appointment to see if it's more than just sensitivity.
