Pregnancy brings joy — but it also brings many questions about health and safety. One common concern we hear at The Smile Makers Dental Clinic, Khar West, Mumbai is: “Is it safe to get dental treatment while pregnant?”
Dental Care in Pregnancy
- Routine check-ups & cleanings: Completely safe and recommended.
- Fillings & root canals: Safe with local anesthesia. Infections should not be ignored.
- Implants: Usually postponed until after delivery.
Best Trimester for Dental Work
- The second trimester (4th–6th month) is ideal for most dental treatments.
Safety Measures
- X-rays are avoided unless absolutely necessary (with full protection).
- Medications prescribed carefully to avoid harm.
At our clinic, Dr. Mohit Bodhwani ensures pain is treated safely, and Dr. Shaili Shah Bodhwani provides guidance on orthodontic or cosmetic procedures that can wait until after pregnancy.
