Can you help me? I’m in a bit of a panic. I just found out I’m pregnant, but just a few weeks ago I had porcelain veneers placed. Someone told me that the dentist would not have done the porcelain veneers if he knew I was pregnant. Does this mean that by getting them placed I harmed my baby? Is there any way to reverse any damage I’ve done?<\/p>\n

Dear Catherine,<\/p>\n

\"An<\/p>\n

The first thing that I want you to do is take a deep breath. In the case of porcelain veneers<\/a>, your baby is completely safe. Dentists are taught to avoid dental work in the first trimester of a woman’s pregnancy because the baby is more susceptible to substances at that point. Most women don’t know they’re pregnant for quite some time through the first trimester, so you’re not the first mom to have work done without knowing they were expecting. <\/p>\n

The only medication used during the porcelain veneers procedure is a local anesthetic. These are the safest medications around. In fact, one of the most common of the local anesthetics is Lidocaine. This has been used countless times not only during pregnancies, but even during the deliveries. You don’t have anything to worry about. <\/p>\n

Looking ahead, it is important that you keep up with your dental care, especially during pregnancy. You don’t want to develop a tooth infection. Not only will that lead to the need for emergency dental care<\/a>, but any infection you have your baby will deal with as well. I would schedule your cleaning and check up for the time period during your second trimester. Once you hit the third trimester, you are not only a bit larger, but you have a whole other human pressing down on you. Because of that, you will not be as comfortable in the dental chair as you would like. The second trimester tends to be the most comfortable for expectant moms. <\/p>\n

Congrats on the new blessing!<\/p>\n
