Can you get cavities filled when pregnant?

In our days, people used to say don't visit the dentist during pregnancy, but that is just an old myth. I had to get a filling done during my second pregnancy and everything went perfectly fine. Keeping an infection in your mouth is actually worse for the baby, so go ahead and get it treated safely.

Yes, you can safely get cavities filled during pregnancy, especially during the second trimester. Just let your dentist know how many weeks pregnant you are.

When I was pregnant with my daughter, I developed a cavity due to constant morning sickness acid. My doctor told me the second trimester is the safest and most comfortable time for dental procedures. Don't suffer through the pain; talk to both your gynecologist and dentist to plan the appointment.

I was incredibly anxious about getting any dental work done while pregnant because I kept worrying about the X-rays and anesthesia affecting the baby. But my gynecologist reassured me that modern dental shields make X-rays safe and local numbing is totally fine. Definitely get it filled rather than staying in pain!
