Dental work and X-rays??
I have unfortunately been dealing with some major dental issues while pregnant. Tomorrow will be my 3rd time to the dentist in 4 weeks. I'm scared they're finally going to want to do X-rays tomorrow to narrow down where the pain is. Opinions on pregnancy and X-rays? I'm 10 weeks today. If they double me up with the protectors is that ok? Opinions please :(

My dentist appt wanted a letter from my dr saying it was okay -- my dr OK'd it and said they'd just make sure i was appropriately covered!
just make sure you tell them youre pregnant.

I had a root canal and fillings done when I was pg with DS. I had to get a letter from my ob for the dentist and they double vested me for xrays. You also can have numbing medication without epinephrine (I had carbocaine, not novicaine) as long as your dentist knows you are pregnant they will know what to give and not give
