Re: dental proceedures and pregnancy

Many obstetricians recommend waiting til the second trimester, after organ formation (if safe to wait from a dental perspective). At this time, any anesthesia (local or local and/or inhalation and/or IV sedation) should be safer. Discuss this with both your OB and your dental specialist. In fact, have them talk to each other.

Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
