Can you get dental work done while pregnant? The answer is YES—but with some precautions! I saw a sweet mom-to-be today (baby
#5 on the way!) who needed treatment for a badly decayed tooth. The good news? Local anesthetic is completely safe—we can numb the tooth, treat cavities, and keep mom comfortable. However, sedation, pain relievers, and mercury removal are a NO as they can affect the baby. We also avoid cone beam CT scans and stick to simple X-rays when needed. If you're expecting and need dental care, don’t ignore it! Just be sure to work with a provider who knows how to keep both you and baby safe. 💙
