    Dentist visit

    Hi all
    I have a terrible toothache and am off to see the dentist in about an hour, but am just wondering if it is OK for the dentist to x-ray my teeth and/or give me a local anasthetic in my gum? Just a bit nervous about if these things can harm bub?
    Thanks for any advice!

    Local anaesthetics are fine to have during pg for dental work, but I wouldn't have an x-ray. He should be able to sort your tooth out without one.

    I'm sure that X-rays are out, hun...did you tell them you were preg when you made the appt? Maybe give them a call before you go. Good luck!
