Dentist while pregnant????
I have a tooth that I KNOW has a cavity. When/if I touch it..it doesn't hurt but it is uncomfortable. Kind of like when something cold hits a tooth that has a cavity.
Can I get a filling done while pregnant? I know I can't have x-rays done..but I hate to just leave it to get worse.
ETA: I'm 32 weeks PG

Re: Dentist while pregnant????
As far as I know, you can. You just have to wait until after your first trimester is over.

I'm 32 weeks..so I think that qualifies me as being over the first trimester right?  I'm gonna call them..because I really can't take it anymore!

They give you a different kind of novacaine when you're pregnant. I doesn't have epinephrin (SP?) in it. I had two emergency root canals done last month, so any dental questions, send them my way!

I had a root canal at 16 weeks - no novicane but they did do digital pics. If they do use novicane ask for the one without something starting with "epi" - if you tell them you are preg they will know what you are talking about.

Yes you can, just make sure they know you are pregnant so they use the different novacain.
Feel better!

--- I guess it is kind of hard to hide this late into it.
