Is dental local anesthesia safe in pregnancy? first trimesta.

Ask OBG: There are different beliefs on getting local anesthesia during the first trimester. I would ask your Dr. and/or OBG.

Usually: Usually no problems. Oral surgeon will usually ask your OB before local anesthesia.

Usually: The risk to you andThe baby is probably greater from dental infection than from anesthetic. Ask Dentist and Obstetrician to discuss risk vrs benefit if you are concerned.

It is very safe: Dental care and dental anesthesia is safe and essential during pregnancy. Pregnancy is not a reason to defer routine dental care or treatment. Good luck!
