Could Dental Treatments Effect Unborn Baby?
I'm 38 weeks pregnant, today I had my dental devitalization pulp, pulp capping and endodontik done because I just can not stand the pain anymore. I'm a bit worry if it's gonna harm my baby even though my doctor said ok but I just want to make sure. Your explanation is much appreciate, thank you.

Dear member,
Thanks for writing.
The risk to a baby us due to drugs given during or after the procedure.
If the pregnancy is very early some antibiotics can cause problems to the growth of fetus.
As you have completed 38 weeks and almost close to your delivery there is not significant risk.
Relax and best if luck for your delivery.
Thanks
