Routine examinations and cleaning can be performed throughout the pregnancy; however, non-urgent procedures can only be performed during the second trimester of pregnancy. Dental emergencies that cause severe pain can be treated in any three months, but obstetricians should be consulted in any emergency that requires anaesthesia or each time they take the medication. X-rays can only be used in emergency situations. Finally, elective and cosmetic surgery should be postponed until the baby is born. Because each woman is different, it is best to discuss with the dentist and determine the treatment plan.
