Dental work while pregnant?!
Question: Dental work while pregnant?
*17 weeks along
Answers:
Some of the anesthesia used isn't safe for you while you are pregnant. Our office requires a medical consult from your OB. I would speak with your dentist ahead of time to find out what type of anesthesia they will put you on (lidocaine, polocaine, septocaine, novocain) and speak with your OB which is best for them to use on you while your pregnant for your fillings. As far as the fluoride goes, I would find out why they are suggesting you not use any. if you over the age of 17 the dentist usually won't give you fluoride anymore but again, its probably for the safety of the baby.
