Minor Oral Surgery and Extraction of tooth during Pregnancy

By: Smileway Dental

Tooth pain during pregnancy may occur due to inadequate care and brushing of teeth. Dental emergencies that occur during pregnancy should be treated if the condition shows no signs of improving.

Dental X-rays during pregnancy can be taken due to low dosage of radiation paired with protective equipment such as lead aprons and targeted exposure that is only limited to the head and neck region which prevents exposure to the developing baby. Dental X-rays for wisdom teeth extraction is necessary to prevent any damage to underlying nerve and structures. For normal extraction of teeth, dental x-rays may not be necessary unless the condition requires it.

The best time to get teeth extracted when pregnant is during the second trimester. During the first trimester, the fetus is undergoing organogenesis which is developing organs. During the third trimester, baby is undergoing growth and its size will increase. The increase in size of the fetus will cause pressure to build in your chest cavity and cause discomfort when sitting on the dental chair for long periods of time.

After 25 years of trying to find a good dentist in KL have finally found one that is well equiped, knowledgable, skilled and good value. Lovely staff. The only downside is the parking but if you park ay MainPlace and walk across then it’s easy. Update 2022…I am still using this excellent dentist as they remain the best I have experienced over the past 26 years… Dentists, nurses, reception and equipment all top notch… Highly recommended.
