Anyone had dentist anaesthetic while pregnant?
I am due for the dentist on Weds and for the last couple of days have an ache in a tooth. I am petrified of the dentist at the best of times but am now worried I may need a filling,
Is it safe to have the anaesthetic injection while pregnant?
My teeth don't feel like they fit together on the left hand side anymore when I bite together. Feels like a top one is hanging down. Does that make sense? Anybody else experienced this? Could it be cos they say our gums get softer and so maybe one tooth is slightly loose??
I am having panic attacks and palpitations just at the thought.
Please advise!

I'm glad this topic has come up. I'm at the dentist on Monday to have a small filling done and have been worrying about it for ages. When I went for my check up last month and he told me I needed a filling, I did ask him then for his reassurance that it was ok to have the local anaesthetic. He said it was fine. I also phoned my mw just to double check and she said as long as it's Lignocaine then it's no problem at all. Lots of other women at my work had dental stuff done while they were pregnant. At least we get all this done free while we're pregnant - so there's always a good side to everything!!! Still not looking forward to going though - I hate going to the dentist...
