No not safe.

was this conversation helpful?

Answered by Shruti Samant

  1. Yes! Dental X-rays are safe to have during pregnancy. 
  2. The American Dental Association and the American Pregnancy Association both agree that very low radiation levels are used in dental X-rays which do not harm either a pregnant woman or her unborn baby.

Answered by Dr. Parth Shah

any dental procedure is safe in the 2nd trimester (4th to the 6th month) & dental x-ray exposure is very less, so it can be done with a help of a lead apron on the patient

Answered by Dr. DR.DEEPA SINGH

Dental x-rays are generally considered safe during pregnancy . The amount of radiation exposure from a dental x-ray is usually very low. However, because there is a small chance of harm from any amount of ionizing radiation, dental x-rays should only be taken when considered necessary by your dentist.

I’m 32 years old male and have tooth gap in the front two teeth since years. Looking for the quick treatment without any harmful effects in longevity.

Male | 32

Hi
if you want a quick treatment you can go for tooth colored composite fillings or pircrksin veneer .
But bothe these treatments have to be redone after few years 
Long term treatment would be braces but more permanent.

I have blood gums, please tell me the medicine.

Female | 21

The swollen and red gums might be a sign of gum disease which requires special care from the dentist. Make an appointment to see a dentist who has been trained in periodontics for an accurate assessment and treatment. Please don't self meditate as it may worsen your condition

It was yesterday that my daughter's tooth pain was relieved, and she was prescribed a rx for Augmentin and Metrogel, which she took this morning, but she started vomiting less than a minute after we gave her the medicine at 2:47. Is there anything more we should be doing for her at this point? Please, doctor, tell me what I should be doing to get her well.

Male | 43

please get in touch with the dr who has prescribed this medicine at the earliest & tell him about this
ideally he should have prescribed an antacid along with it too.

What is jaw claudication?

Jaw claudication is an often unrecognized sign of giant cell arteritis. The significance of this symptom has been underemphasized in the dental literature. Dentists should consider jaw claudication when making the differential diagnosis of jaw pain, especially in the elderly patient. Early diagnosis and treatment of giant cell arteritis may help save a patient

I am 30 years old my 2 teeth have black tartar because of tobacco chewing so what are the solution please give me the solution with price so i can manage to do it

Female | 30

if it's the front tooth then veneers is the best option for it, which would cost you around 15,000inr per tooth.

Best solution is to quit smoking. if can't be done then go for regular clean ups to a local dentist once in 5/6 months
