Can I get my teeth fixed during pregnancy?

Repairing teeth is a treatment method that requires the use of special instruments and drugs. People have no way of controlling when their teeth will be damaged, and therefore cannot predict when they may need to have their teeth repaired. Therefore, some women may need to have their teeth repaired during pregnancy. The materials used for tooth repair will not have a negative impact on the health of normal people. However, due to the special conditions of pregnant women, it is not recommended to repair teeth during pregnancy.

Dental fillings are the process of repairing a defective tooth using artificial substances. These artificial substances are filling materials and are not very harmful to ordinary people, but they may have an impact on pregnant women. It is not recommended to have dental treatment after pregnancy, because all drugs and X-ray exposure may cause miscarriage or fetal malformation. Because the patient will lie supine for a long time during dental treatment, the fetus may compress the inferior vena cava.

It is generally not recommended to fill teeth during pregnancy, because some medicines and equipment will be needed when filling teeth, which will have an impact on pregnant women and fetuses. If it is an expectant mother in the early stage of pregnancy, it is even more forbidden to fill teeth, otherwise it may cause miscarriage or fetal malformation. If pregnant mothers have toothache due to various reasons and must have a tooth filled, it is best to do it when they are 4-6 months pregnant. Only simple filling methods can be used and medication cannot be used blindly.

Dental fillings during pregnancy can affect the health of the fetus

1. If you fill your teeth in early pregnancy, it may cause fetal malformation or miscarriage.

2. Anesthetics are used when filling teeth, and anesthetics will affect the development of the fetal nervous system. If anesthesia is not used, the pregnant woman's nerves will feel pain during tooth filling, which will stimulate uterine contractions and easily lead to miscarriage.

3. Materials containing mercury may be used in dental fillings. If pregnant women come into contact with these materials, it will affect the health of the fetus.

In short, it is best for pregnant women not to have dental fillings or dental implants during pregnancy. It is best to wait until the end of pregnancy.
