goin to dentist while TTC

I know it's ok to go for your normal check-up, but is it ok to have a cavity filled with the numbing shot they give you while you are TTC?

I am getting teeth pulled on Thursday and I will be 8 DPO. I know another girl on here just got teeth pulled too. I don't see why it would be an issue. Good luck.

You should be fine, if you are worried talk to your dentist.

I can't imagine it would be a huge issue either. Just be careful with xrays.

well last month when I was in the 2ww the dentist wouldn't fill a cavity I have, he put in a temp & told me to come back when I find out I'm not PG or in the 2nd trimester.?

Then I tried to get in when I knew I wasn't PG - but they were booked until mid may. At this point, if I'm PG I will have to put it off again.

I don't know if it's just my dentist or what.?

My office knows we're trying so I am due for a cleaning and just scheduled it after AF will arrive.

tell them if there is a chance you might be pregnant - they will double cover you if you need an x-ray and there is an additive to the novacaine that they shouldnt use in case you are pg.

I did last month before O.  No problem.  If you're worried, tell you're dentist your TTC.  If you're in the 2WW they might not xray you.

I had to have some work done a few weeks ago and was 2 days away from testing (so possibly KU).  Dentist would not do X-ray or give me gas or novocaine.  It hurt like hell!  Even worse, when AF showed up 4 days later!
