37 weeks pregnant
Did you know that having dental work done during pregnancy is perfectly safe? It’s actually recommended having any pending work done during pregnancy to avoid pain and infection, which has been linked to preterm birth. Also, treating decay will make your mouth healthier before your baby arrives- bacteria that causes cavities is usually spread from mother to child therefore you want your mouth as healthy as possible. The safest and easiest time for dental work is the second trimester. If you are in your third trimester, avoid prolonged chair time by deferring elective dental work such as cosmetic work and tooth whitening. Laying on your left side can also improve comfort and help prevent hypotension! Read more on Dental work during pregnancy here.
