Pregnancy and teeth

[EmsMum72]

Hi there,

I'm nearly 8 weeks pregnant and the past 2 days my teeth have started playing up. Yesterday I ate a hot chip and bit down on a tooth and it hurt so much, felt like it went right down to the nerve I showed hubby and he said 'yep, that looks pretty shot' which means 'yep, you need a filling'. Has anyone had a filling while pregnant, especially in the first trimester? When I was pregnant earlier in the year the same thing happened, (my teeth really start to give me grief when pregnant) and I had a filling. The dentist told me that it was safe I did go on to miscarry (highly unlikely that it was because of the filling I know but .....).

Just wanted to hear from others who have had fillings, then gone on to have healthy babies! I know not to have x-rays, but are fillings ok??
