I have heard conflicting stories. I know you should not have x rays done when you are pregnant, but is it ok to go for a cleanings. I tend to have gum issues so I wanted to know if it would be ok to continue going.

Re: dentist
Yes, actually it is perfectly fine to go to the dentist while pregnant and cleanings are actually recommended (but not x-rays obviously). I had a ton of dental work done in my first pregnancy, and my OB said to have it done in the 2nd trimester. This was actual dental work, I had a wisdom tooth pulled and some procedures toward an implant I was getting. The only thing my OB said was to tell the dentist no epinephrine in the novocaine.
I have a dentail cleaning scheduled for the 9th of February. I will be 26 weeks.

Re: dentist
my Dr said x-rays are fine too, since thy're so localized, and the baby is protected under lead.
I need to go to get a chipped tooth fixed, but I've been stalling (cause I'm a big dentist baby).

Re: dentist
I'm a dental hygienist and I scream Yes!! Go for your cleanings especially if you have gum issues. Periodontal disease is linked to low birthweight babies.....As far as xrays are concerned I prefer to hold off on them until after birth unless the patient is having a problem. Happy Brushing!

Re: dentist
I am having a root canal today. My ob said it was ok just no ephernifrine.
If I dont have this root canal- I might pull my tooth out myself.
