Good day doctors.. can an 8weeks pregnant woman do a tooth extraction or tooth refilling?

Not recommended: During the first trimester (up to 14 weeks) of pregnancy, only emergency dental treatment should be undertaken. This would be treatment for severe pain or active infection. If your needed treatment can wait, then wait until you are well into the second trimester.

Maybe: With a pregnant woman the benefits must be more important than the risks. Tylenol (acetaminophen) is one of the best meds for pain.

Depends : It's best to wait until the 2nd trimester unless you have infection outside of your tooth (cellulitis.) talk with your dentist and ob/gyn-they are very familar with dealing with pregnant women. Get routine checkups since gum problems are common in pregnancy. Women with periodontal disease have a higher chance of premature labor. And your dentist can offer dental tips for your newborn baby.

Yes: A healthy pregnant woman may have most dental services performed safely. Fillings and extractions included. I probably would not under go any type of sedation but local numbing is okay. I agree that keeping the gums healthy and clean are important due to pregnancy gingivitis. The hormone changes increase the chance of gum inflammation.

Yes: Simple procedures in a healthy pregnant woman are not a problem, if the pregnancy has been normal. That being said, if you or the patient have any questions or doubt, then the ob/gyn should be consulted for clearance!

Also see my comment : Pregnant women have at least as many dental problems as women who are not pregnant. Personally, it has been my experience that every ob-gyn that I have discussed this issue with agrees that in almost all cases, necessary dental treatment is fine with a few precautions: lead apron, only absolutely necessary x-rays, only local anesthesia, etc. Neglecting your teeth may be more dangerous.
