One tooth has been giving me trouble and dentist suggested a filling. But im 4 months along and not sure if I should get it done now or wait. Anyone got dental work done while pregnant?
Haan ji, karwa sakte hain, but usually second trimester mein log prefer karte hain. Local anaesthesia dete hain toh it's fine for the baby, mere gynac ne toh bola tha. Bas make sure you tell your dentist you're pregnant, na. Woh log us hisaab se hi treatment karte hain.
Meri saas toh kehti thi kuch mat karwao pregnancy mein, infection ho jayega. But honestly, if there's pain, you can't just ignore it. My mom told me to ask the gynac, and she said second trimester mein it's usually fine, just no X-rays if possible. So I did, and it was okay, no problems at all.
Oh, I'm in my second trimester too and actually have a cavity! My gynac said it's generally safe to get fillings done, but I'm still a bit nervous about the anaesthesia. Did anyone else get one done and everything was okay? I just want to be sure it won't affect the baby at all.
This journey is so precious, so it's always best to be extra careful with everything. While minor dental procedures are often considered safe, please, please consult both your gynecologist and your dentist. They can coordinate and decide the safest timing and method for you. You deserve all the care.
At my hospital, they have a whole dental department that coordinates with the gynacology team for pregnant patients. My gynac explicitly told me to tell the dentist I was pregnant, and they used pregnancy-safe anaesthesia. So yes, you can, but make sure your doctor gives a green light and discuss with your dentist properly about all concerns.
