Yes you can.. I had a white filling whilst pregnant. O wanted to throw up the whole time 🤣 but that's besides the point.

Yes, I did. You'll probably have a composite (white) filling, rather than an amalgam one.

I wouldnt have an amalgam one removed or put in during pregnancy- why expose the foetus to mercury?

Interested in this thread?

Yes, absolutely fine. Much safer than a big infection when pregnant.

Yes of course you can. Smile

Don't forget if it's an NHS dentist your treatment should be free as long as you have your exemption certificate.
