Dental pain and clean while pregnant
Hi, so I am 6 weeks pregnant with baby no 2 and have been having very senditive teeth and occasional pain as well. is it something that will go away after first trimester? I have been maintaining good oral hygiene.
I called a dentist and they sais it is not recommended to get any dental work done in first trimester and should wait until second trimester for a clean.
Looking for similar experiences please, is this pain just a pregnancy symptom?

@Bridie hi Bridie, thank you for your reply. Do you suggest waiting for a clean until second trimester too?
I would wait just because if it feels sensitive now, it will feel really sensitive while getting a clean
Yes I had this during first trimester with my last pregnancy and then it got better :)

Hi! I'm an old dental nurse, and yes it can be due to pregnancy. You will also find when you have a clean you may bleed more than usual around the gums. It should subside after your first trimester, use a sensitive tooth paste. If it really concerns you, see you dentist for a least a check up.
