You really should check with your ob. Mine wanted the cavities or anything that could cause infection out of my mouth and the elective stuff to wait till after delivery. In other words only do what's necessary during pregnancy. Make sure to check with your ob first though. Congrats on your pregnancy

I would tell the dentist you plan on seeing before you pay/book an appointment that you're pregnant they will know what is safe and what isn't. I'm pretty sure it's just the Xrays.. But I'm not a professional.
