In summary the recommendations are:
- Have a dental check-up before you are pregnant but don't avoid the dentist if you are already pregnant

- If you are pregnant- it is safe and recommended that you see your dentist
- You must let your dentist know you are pregnant
- If treatment is required the best time is during the second trimester
