X-rays while TTC?

Question

Hi, I have a dentist appointment this Thursday where they are going to take x-rays.  Thursday should be just a day or so after my ovulation date. Is it safe to go through with the x-rays when I could potentially have conceived a day or two before? I know there are warning signs about not doing x-rays if you think you may be pregnant, but I'm not sure if I should be worried. Obviously, I will ask the dental assistant but would love any opinions or experiences.

Answer

If it's just an x-ray of your teeth - than you should be ok. But the dentist HAS to know that you could be pregnant! They will give you more protection. So do yourself a favour and tell them that you could be possibly pregnant!

Answer

When I was in the hospital, they had to test me before they'd x-Ray. It's always worth mentioning...

Answer

Never risk it. Tell them there may be a chance you're pregnant and they'll understand. They can postpone X-rays until you have confirmed a negative test.

Answer

I wouldn't worry. It's your face and they put the lead jacket on you and it's only a day after ovulation so nothing has been implanted yet. I've had dental X-rays when I was pregnant to see what was wrong with my wisdom teeth and I didn't even know I was pregnant! My son is perfectly fine and healthy 5 year old now. I know your not suppose to have any freezing done in the first 3 months of pregnancy and that's after you've confirmed you really are pregnant. And trust me you don't want to wait. I had a filling fall out during my 3rd month and they couldn't freeze me to clean it out so they did a temp filling. Hurt like hell!
