local anesthetic in early pregnancy

[legardored2]

Hi all, I wonder if anyone can help me. I have to have some work done on my teeth and I will be between 11 and 12 weeks pregnant when I have to have my first lot of work done. It will be done using local anesthetic and was just wondering if anyone knows if this is safe to have when i'm pregnant? xx

yeh local anaesthic is absolutely fine. just make sur eu tell ur dentist that you are pregnant so they dont take any xrays.
plus one of tne good things about being pregnant u get free treatment.
hope you go on ok.
p.s i'm a dental nurse btw

This has helped me too as I need to have some dental treatment in the next month or so, so I feel reassured too!

Thanks
