Question about dentist and being pregnant (kinda worried)
Ok, before I found out I was pregnant I had a couple dentist appt's to get my teeth cleaned and fixed before my insurance changed. Well when I went to the dentist for my first visit they took those xray picture things done and had 5 fillings and one tooth pulled. When I got my one tooth pulled they gave me shots for the pain while they pulled it and also gave me pain meds after the tooth was pulled, I only took 3 hydrocodines for the pain. So I found out I was pregnant about a week and a half later, so my question is, is it bad that I had the xray pictures done while I am pregnant and also could the pain meds affect the baby? I go to the drs on the 10th of this month so I will ask then but just to calm my worring has anyone experienced this?
Well I am going to guess the shots were just to numb your mouth I wouldn't know about the pain pills but being that you only took three is good. I just went to the dentist and i told them so we didn't do x-ray but she said if i had a hurt tooth they could do a few it would be ok.
Since being pregnant I got cavities filled and one was a really big one. The denstist prescribed me the same pain medication and I talked to the pharmacy and they said the only thing that it would really do is if I became addicted so would the baby. Luckily I ended up not needing it but I just thought I would share what I was told and try to make you feel a bit better about it :)
Stressing about it is worse then anything else. I would guess that because it happened very early on it shouldn't be a problem. At my dentist if your pregnant the only thing they change is they double the lead vest, and they don't give you nitrous. (obviously lol) but thats it.
