I had an emergency root canal done at 41 weeks pregnant! The poor dentist told me that if I went into labour she was calling an ambulance

I also had routine dental work done in my first trimester and had no issues. Just let your dentist know and I'm sure they'll act accordingly.

I lost some fillings that I had filled last month while pregnant in the 1st trimester. They had to remove the old metal ones and replace with white (new office only does white). The only issue I encountered was my dentist needing a clearance from my OB/GYN office. I originally went to an appointment for a routine cleaning and my dentist required the clearance for that as well.

I had a root canal done at around 7 months. My endodontist was never concerned about it- I had whatever they use that's not Novocaine for the procedure. The only thing they did different was to give me 2 vests to wear for the x-rays. The part that sucked was not being able to take any real painkillers afterwards.

I just had a filling filled this week. My OB approved it and everything I read said in the second trimester it was no big deal. My OB just said no gas, only local anesthetic.

We usually wait to do any work in your second trimester or with a letter of clearance from your OB in my office.
