My tooth is killing me and the dentist wants to do a filling with local anesthesia. Im in second trimester. Im thoda scared about the injection affecting baby. Anyone got dental work done during pregnancy?
I was reading about this because I want to get my dental checkup done before we start trying. From what I know, local anesthesia is safe for necessary procedures, but both your dentist and gynecologist must coordinate to be 100% sure.
My doctor told me that dental health is very important during pregnancy, and local anesthesia is safe if there is an active infection. Just let your dentist know you are pregnant so they use a safe option, and get your gynac's okay first.
I had a root canal in my second trimester with local anesthesia and everything went perfectly fine! My gynac gave me the green light, and the dentist was super careful. Don't worry, just keep your doctor informed.
I am in my 20th week and my dentist said I need a filling with local anesthesia, but I am so scared. Has anyone else gone through a dental procedure during their pregnancy? Did your gynac approve it?
I know how terrifying it is to think about any medical procedure during a precious pregnancy. My doctor told me that local dental anesthesia is generally safe if needed, but please check with your fertility specialist or gynac first. Sending you strength.
Please be extremely cautious. If the dental work can wait until after delivery, that might be safer. If it is an emergency, make sure your dentist gets a written clearance from your gynac before giving any anesthesia.
