Yes: Have your teeth cleaned and keep your mouth healthy.. Changes to your hormonal levels during pregnancy can cause your gums to become inflammed more easily.

Yes: This is fine during the first trimester. Use a shield if they want to do any xrays.

Absolutely: It is imperative to have excellent oral health during pregnancy (and after). Dental disease can adversely affect your baby and the course of your pregnancy. There is a strong correlation between gum disease and OB complications. Advise the Dentist that you are pregnant and all appropriate precautions will be taken. Also give the dentist a full list of your Meds. Wishing you a healthy baby.
