: : I just found out I'm about 7 weeks pregnant last week and about two days ago my tooth started to kill me only to look at it and find out i have a really bad cavity. this is only my second cavity in my life but i'm worried about the novicaine b/c i'm still in the first three months and those are very crucial months. I'm going to my doctor on the 9th, but i was wondering if anyone knew anything about dentist work and being pregnant b/c i can't take this pain anymore. thanks!!

: I was told by alot of ppl and by my obgyno, not to go to the dentis. Well you can if you were just getting a cleaing but something were they would have to do exs rays NO. But before you go i would take to you're obgyno
they double sheild u on xray while at the dentist if u tell them ur pregnant all doc encourage u going cause if u let teeth stay bad while pregnant u can loose the baby.....plus the x ray they use is so light it barely does anything..so between that and the couble sheild the baby is safe
