My tooth pain is back and dentist said i may need a filling. Im 22 weeks and thoda scared about the numbing injection and x-ray part. Anyone got dental work done while pregnant?
It is safe, but avoid elective procedures until after delivery. If it's urgent, the second trimester is the safest and most comfortable window to get it done.
I panicked when my tooth chipped, but my gynac said dental infections can actually be harmful for baby. Got it fixed in my 5th month and it was totally fine!
My pregnancy cravings for sweets led to a minor cavity issue, and my dentist fixed it safely! Just tell them you are expecting so they avoid certain medicines.
Had a severe toothache with my twins and had to get a filling done. Dentist avoided x-rays and made sure I was comfortable, so just inform them beforehand!
Yes, dental cleanings and basic fillings are safe, but tell your dentist clearly that you are pregnant. Second trimester is the best time for any dental work.
