2WW and going to the dentist?

i have a dentist appointment next week and i will be 10DPO, do I cancel it?
I think i have a small cavity and would need an x-ray.

Re: 2WW and going to the dentist?

I had x-rays done last month during the 2 WW and I also had some done last week during this months 2WW. I can't bring myself to start changing my life before I know for sure. It would mess me up in the head way too much!

This is honestly just my opinion and where I am at. Some might blast me and think I am dumb for putting a potential child at risk but I would never intentionally do that. I did research and at that early along it couldn't cause much harm anyway.

Re: 2WW and going to the dentist?

I would still go and talk to the Dentist and see what he/she thinks. They may be able to fix whatever you need without the x-ray or do something till you know whether or not you are PG.

Re: 2WW and going to the dentist?

I had a dentist's appointment on 10dpo and I took a test that morning, and got a BFP. I went to the dentist, and had to tell them I was PG.

Just test before you go.

My dentist knew I was pg before my mom did.

Re: 2WW and going to the dentist?

I'd just let the dentist know your situation and have them decide what your best option is!

Re: 2WW and going to the dentist?

i would still go, see what the doctor says, but i def dont think you should get an xray. when we were ttc'ing, I had a teeth cleaning scheduled and I told them I could be pregnant so they didnt do an xray.

I would like to avoid having to tell them that i might be! This is the family dentist and I really don't want anyone finding out that I am TTC. The entire office is always asking about me or talking about me! I had to bring them my wedding album when it was done!

Re: 2WW and going to the dentist?

It is my family dentist as well...I've been going there since I was 2, now 28. I had to tell them bc I was PG...just make sure you test that morning. The doctor legally had to keep the information confidential, and didn't say anything to my mother 2 weeks later when she went to him. My MOM said something to him to the effect of "I have a bone to pick with you, you knew of my new grandchild before I did." And the dentist said that he was sorry, but he HAD to know, and that he obviously wasn't going to say anything etc...

good luck...I hope you get your BFP that morning!!!

thanks! i'll only be 10dpo so I'm concerned it will be too early to test. And I don't want to wait until the last minute to cancel.

Re: 2WW and going to the dentist?

i was 3 months pregnant when i went to the dentist and went again at 8 months.

my obgyn and dentist said i could get xrays if i wanted. the dose is so low and concentrated and you wear the shield. i chose not to because i didn't need to. but ask your doctor and dentist and they will tell you what they recommend.

if i had a MAJOR dental problem, i would have done it. but it was just a cleaning so it didn't matter

ETA: during the 2WW i changed NOTHING about my life. i even had general anesthesia and i was pregnant, but it wasn't picked up in a blood test or sonogram. i would have had the xray during the 2WW without even a second thought

Re: 2WW and going to the dentist?

You're not telling you are pregnant just that you COULD be pregnant. I understand your concern but as the pp said they are legally required (under HIPPA) to keep what you tell them confidential.

Re: 2WW and going to the dentist?

i went , but as soon as i told the dentist that i might be pregnant, he refused to take any xrays
