Re: helpful article about dental work during PG

  • Hopefully the ladies with questions on dental work while pg will read this article...

    One can only hope =)

  • LOL  I had a dentist appt. a couple weeks ago and didn't even consider the whole "IS IT SAFE?" thing.  I thought it was recommended to go to the dentist during pregnancy (or while TTC) because the hormones somehow affect your teeth/gums.  Anyway, I'll check out that article out of pure curiosity.  Obviously, I told my hygenist/dentist that I was newly pregnant but it didn't seem to change anything with the cleaning process.

  • Here's a side note on X-rays: A lot of dental offices are now using the "digital" x-rays. Apparently they expose you to 80%-90% less radiation than the "normal" ones. This made me feel much better when I had to have one for a filling.
