When to See Your Dentist

Most dentists and obstetricians feel that you can see your dentist safely at any time during your pregnancy.

Some dentists don’t recommend dental care during the first trimester of pregnancy, and may choose not to take X-rays, though there is little evidence that low radiation dental X-rays are harmful.

You may opt to wait to have any major dental procedures that require anesthesia or medication until after you deliver. Talk to your obstetrician and dentist about timing.
