I meant to get in before we got pregnant, it happened sooner than expected and my husband’s job dental insurance policy had a lapse for some reason. Anyhow, now I am pregnant and havent been to dentist in a long time. Is it safe to get a cleaning while pregnant? What if there is a cavity, can it be filled during pregnancy?

    Yes, going to the dentist is actually encouraged while your pregnant. A lot of woman develop pregnancy gingivitis due do hormones and gingivitis can lead to pre-term labor.
    Also I got a cavity filled while I was pregnant my dentist said it was completely safe. Hope this helps T-hun

    It’s HIGHLY reccomended to go to the dentist while pregnant. Tooth problems can cause all kinds of issues with an unborn fetus and the pregnancy.
    I’ve had my teeth cleaned twice so far with this pregnancy and I’ve also had sealants applied. My dentist actually knew I was pregnant before I did, just by looking at my gums and teeth. Sarah
