Can pregnant women have their teeth extracted and filled?

As we all know, pregnancy is the most difficult period for women. Due to the relationship between metabolism, the human body will have many discomforts. Even if the body feels unwell during pregnancy, it is not allowed to take medicine, otherwise it will affect the health of the baby. Many women suffer from caries, woodworms and other conditions during pregnancy. So, can teeth be extracted and filled during pregnancy?

It is best not to perform dental surgery within 3 months of pregnancy. Whether it is medication or X-rays, they will affect the baby's healthy growth and development to varying degrees, and even cause deformities and miscarriage. When it comes to 4 to 6 months of pregnancy, his condition is basically stable. During this period, some simple minimally invasive surgeries can be performed. If you need to fill a tooth, the prerequisite is not some minimally invasive surgery that affects the gums, and you must communicate with the doctor before the operation to avoid accidents.

After the seventh month of pregnancy, dental surgery such as fillings cannot be performed. Because during the tooth filling surgery, the patient has to remain in a supine position throughout the operation, and the baby in the belly will compress the abdominal veins, which may cause coma and loss of consciousness.

Because antiviral drugs are needed during the tooth filling process, and antiviral drugs will have a certain impact on the fetus in the belly. In addition, some pregnant women will become anxious and uneasy when having a tooth filled, and filling a tooth will be very painful. Once the pain occurs, it will affect their mentality, which greatly increases the possibility of miscarriage.

Therefore, doctors do not recommend women to fill their teeth during pregnancy. If the condition is not very serious, dental surgery should be performed after delivery. If surgery must be performed immediately, it must be done under the guidance of a specialist, and the doctor must cooperate with a series of physical examinations.
