Yes, root canals are generally safe during pregnancy, especially when done in the second trimester. If you're experiencing tooth pain or an infection, it's essential not to delay seeking care. At Topeka Dentistry, we understand that pregnancy comes with a lot of questions (and changes!), which is why we take extra precautions to ensure both you and your baby stay safe and comfortable.
When a tooth becomes severely infected or decayed, a root canal may be necessary to remove the infection and prevent further complications. Leaving a dental infection untreated can actually pose a greater risk to your health and your pregnancy than the procedure itself.
We work closely with your obstetrician if needed and use pregnancy-safe anesthetics to keep you comfortable. Diagnostic x-rays, if necessary, are also safe when used with proper shielding and modern low-dose technology.
