Pregnant and need extensive dental care.
I was going to have a lot of dental work done right before I found out that I am pregnant. I happy tht I am going to have another child, but my teeth are in really bad shape. Just how much dental work can I have while I am pregnant?

You can have most of your dental care done while you are pregnant. What you would want to do is talk to the dentist and make sure they know you are pregnant that way they know to take the added care needed.
You may also want to talk things over with your OBGYN if you have additional needs that need to be address your dentist and the OBGYN can talk over the phone.
It is better that you get your teeth fixed then have bad teeth issues while you are pregnant. So just ask all the questions you need to in order to feel good about having the dental care needed.

I had two root canals done when I was five months pregnant. It was not big deal for me and my baby was just fine. Everyone is different in the care they may need so just talk things out with your OBGYN and your dentist so that you know what you can and can not have done.

When I was only three months pregnant my tooth started hurting me. I just assumed that I could not have dental care and dealt with the pain. However I was in such pain throughout the rest of my pregnancy because of my tooth only to find out there was no good reason for me to have put myself though that.
Later I found out how really bad that could have been for my son too. I was very lucky he was perfectly healthy when he was born.
I read how bad teeth can effect the baby birth weight as well as cause other health issues. The stress I was having because of being in pain was also not good for my son.
I encourage you read about teeth health care while pregnant. There are a lot of good web sites. Then talk to your dentist and go over all your options and what you can do now and what should be done after your baby is born.
