How can pregnant women wait till 2nd trimester to fill cavities and do cleanings?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Possible: As long as it's not an emergency or pain related to the cavity, it's possible. Dental work in the 2nd trimester is considered safer than 1st or 3rd trimester.

They can: As long as no emergencies, cleanings are possible if the patient is healthy, no heart or diabetes issues, rest of work can wait and my be temporized for later treatment.

Do not wait: Dental treatment for dental women who has oral pain, toothache or infection should not be delayed. The waiting could cause more harm to the mother and possibly to the fetus than a dental treatment itself. Ask your dentist for more information. Good luck.
