Why does the dentist always ask if you are pregnant?

== == The dentist will only take x rays that are completely necessary. And they probably won't take any in the first trimester. You will be covered with a lead apron that will protect you very well, but it's better to be safe. If you don't want an x ray, you can refuse to have one until later in your pregnancy or after you have the baby. White fillings are safe. Local anesthesia is safe. X-rays are not safe for the baby. Some drug medications are not safe. Most dentists agree that silver fillings are not safe.
