I'm 26 weeks pregnant and almagam filling has broke off and i have swallowed it will my baby b ok or will it pass through placenta to baby cause harm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Please consult with: Your dentist as he is the expert for that , but probably it just pass through the GI tract and u will expel it in the stool but the dentist would know more than any OB when it comes to this.
