I’m pregnant but need dental treatment, should I wait untill I’ve had my baby?

Q. I am 5 wks pregnant and my front tooth got chipped in the corner, it doesn’t cause me any type of discomfort, should I treat it now or wait to have my baby, also is a bonded white filling safe?,
A. You can have a filling now but if there is no pain wait until after the baby is born, your dentist could seal the tooth to prevent any problems.

I am 5 months pregnant and my filling in my tooth is loose. It hurts when I walk or I sit down. I feel it wiggle and it bothers me. Can I get it fixed?,

Hello, I am interested in home whitening and was wondering if it is suitable for partly breastfeeding mums.
