Is it ok that i was numbed with articaine today by my dentist while being 30 weeks pregnant?

Depends: The anesthetic used does not matter while pregnant as long as there is no epinepherine (what obgyns ask us to avoid). Epinepherine (adrelaline) has an extremely short life span. If nothing happened to you that day, you and the baby are fine.

Shouldn't be a : Problem. Articaine is routinely and safely used. I wouldn't worry. All the best and thanks for the question.
