You can have dental work done. You need to let your dentist know that you are pregnant though. The reason being that there are some medications and especially general anesthetics that can cause complications with pregnancy. The medicines are the concern not the procedures. So as long as a little extra discomfort is not an issue you should be fine.

Depends on what you want done... how do you know you're pregnant even? If you tell the dentist there is a possiblilty you are pregnant, they will avoid using medications that can harm you. They will also probably avoid anything using X-rays. I went to the dentist several times while I was pregnant and as long as they are aware, it is fine.

Yes, just let the dentist know. I had all of my dental work done while pregnant with my son.

Yes, you just have to check that if they are using Novocaine that it is safe for your baby. and make sure you tell them if you are having x-rays. Those are dangerous for your baby.
