AnswerBank Answer:
Does dental treatment change each trimester during pregnancy?
Yes. Generally during the first trimester of pregnancy, routine treatment like checkups and cleanings can be completed. During the second and third trimesters however, most treatments are postponed until after the baby arrives. This avoids issues with drug interactions (local sedation) that may occur during restorative procedures like fillings. Check ups are encouraged at any time during pregnancy so that the dentist can diagnosis any issues to be treated after pregnancy. Anyone who is pregnant and is experiencing pain or trauma due to an accident should absolutely seek the care of their dentists, regardless of the stage of their pregnancy.
