Inform your dentist that you are pregnant, he should know whether to proceed

Yes, you can. Just avoid x-rays. They say the x-rays are safe in the second and third trimester but I would still avoid them. You can also have the freezing for the cavity filling. Your dental health affects your overall health and that of the baby. I just had 3 fillings and I am in my first trimester. It's very safe.

Yes, you can. But this one is your call because you cannot have ANY medication, so if you're brave, go right ahead. No x-rays either! I had three cavities filled while pregnant. Good luck!

Tell your dentist that you're pregnant because they are very strick about treating pregnant women. I got tooth pulled while I was pregnant but I had to see a specialist instead of my actual dentist. You should also ask your ob/gyn doctor about this.

Just call the dentist and ask what you can safely have done.
