Paris: Sorry to hear about the Cavity. At least you will be getting it seen to before the big O day, but from what your dentist said, it seems you can get dental treatment done pregnant or not?
mellywelly: Hope your big O comes soon! Looks like we'll be Ovulating at more or less the same time!
Boo to the cavity! But you're right -- I'm glad it was found now and it's getting fixed before I ovulate.
My dentist advised that he does do work on pregnant patients (not xrays though), but as blakesmom said, her dentist office doesn't do work until after first trimester or waits until after the baby is born.
Just like most topics during pregnancy... there is a conflicting answer!
I guess it all depends on what needs to be done, etc. I told him that I'm TTC and he said that even if I do get pregnant soon, he still wants me to come back in 6 months for another check-up/cleaning. I was told that pregnancy hormones can actually wreak havoc on your gums! So we'll see!
Ever since my mc, I've been trying to make sure that I'm as healthy as can be... getting my oral health checked was just one more step in that direction!
I still don't like the dentist though. LOL
