| Maintaining dental hygiene while pregnant is very important. Hormones
affect your gums and teeth, too.
I'm 3 1/2 months and saw my hygienist for a cleaning a month and a half
ago. She told me that if anything bothers me, from a tooth to my gums,
I should come in right away. When you are pregnant you can have
novacaine but not nitrous oxide or xrays. Your friend should call her
dentist and tell them she lost a filling and that she's pregnant.
They'll know how to handle it.

| DEFINATELY have it fixed. I lost a partial filling and my dentist
rushed me in. Is she goes without she could be asking for serious
problems, plus when she gets further along she could run into elivated
blood pressure and that little missing filling could become a painful
hole as me dentist explained to me.
Dentists encourage you to take care of your teeth, get them cleaned,
especially if you experienced morning sickness, a big killer of fine
teeath.

Pardon my ignorance, but what relationship is there between morning
sickness and teeth?

| 862.4 | Go to the dentist! | BUSY::CSMITH | | Fri Dec 09 1994 13:08 | 7 |
| I just went through the same decision and decided to not only have a
filling replaced but also a wisdom tooth pulled. My dentist and midwife
both told me that novicane is safe and advised me that the risk of
infection can be very harmful to the baby if you develop a fever.
Hope this is helpful!

Without getting into too many details ... the stomach acids can affect
tooth enamel.

Thanks- Steph

| Just read this and wanted to add my 2 cents worth. I had
lost a filling while I was pregnant. It became absessed because
I figured I'd wait until after the baby was born. Ended up getting
a root canal and cap while I was pregnant after all. So, I would
say take care of it as soon as possible.

| I never had any major problems with my teeth until I became pregnant.
In the 2nd trimester I ended up getting a couple of exposed roots - boy
do those hurt.
I was able to have an Xray done. My dentist said that he would not do
the X-ray w/o the permission of my dr. The dr. said that is was OK,
but must be really protected. The dentist ended up using 2 of those
lead thingies.
