I've been having what feels like never ending root canal treatment. The first time, the dentist took out my amalgam filling so he could start the root canal.
Now, I'm reading google (stupid idea), and panicking about the damage I could have done to the baby. I was about 10 weeks at the time, now 18 weeks (went back today for the second round).
So, has anyone else had these fillings removed during pregnancy?
Most of the journals I've read seem to say there's no proven risk, but then it makes me wonder why the NHS advise against removing them during pregnancy. (I don't live in the UK)
Hopefully someone has a reassuring story for me! Thank you!
