Dental filling

Has anyone gotten a dental filling and numbness during their pregnancy? I will be 17 weeks when I have it done. OB gave me a list to give dentist what is safe . I know I have heard mixed information on this topic.

I've had a root canal during pregnancy. It's safer than having a tooth infection in my opinion. My dentists have always known what's safe and what's not. You just have to tell them you're pregnant of course.

10 years dental experience here! It's safe any time, but the 2nd tri is ideal.

Hey,
I underwent my dental filling in the second trimester. It is safe. My condition worsened because I had a bad toothache and an infection. If the pain is normal, you may have to wait for birth; otherwise, do it in your second trimester. Dentists are aware of handling the dental procedures of a pregnant woman, don't be tensed and live without pain. Take care!!!

I also work in the dental field. Dental treatment is much safer than infection in your mouth. Definitely get any cavities taken care of before there is a risk of infection and abscess. Pregnancy can be uncomfortable enough without adding the pain and stress of a toothache to the mix. Best of luck!
