is it safe to have a dental filling in the first trimester?

[LJAM]

i am only 6.5 weeks pregnant and i have a tooth ache. pretty sure i'll need a filling. is it safe to have one? i guess it means local anaesthetic and maybe an xray...?

I went for a check up when I was 14 weeks and was told that they would only do work if it was absolutely necessary. They were going to do a routine x-ray but will now do it after I have the baby. It's probably best to tell your dentist right away - if they're like mine, they'll even give you the consultation for free

I need a filing but the dentist put it off until i was over 12 weeks (having it on friday -if i can get a babysitter!!).

She said beforehand 12 weeks she wouldn't be keen to use the injections so it was safer to wait.

I would definitely not get a mercury filling. A ceramic one, yes, but defo not mercury (amalgam).

The dentist should advise you about pain relief too.

Thanks all. will see what dentist says.

I had one at around 8 weeks, but it was only small and the dentist didn't need to use an anaesthetic. The x-ray had been done when I wasn't pregnant - it took me over 3 months to get it done

i had 2 extractions and then 2 white fillings whilst pregnant and i thought wow this hurts but no way near child birth so i can do this!
With the extractions my whole mouth was numb and i had stiches!last friday had 2 lil white fillings at front of mouth cant notice so worth the numb nose!!!my dentist is a female and she is aware so just doing the small stuff- SMALL she said so leaving the big switch over from silver to white after baby so that will be in Jan! i found myself praying saying its shame i couldnt get all pain in one go so child birth and my filling done
