Dental care and pregnancy

[lauratom]

I'm a 2-month pregnant woman. I was suffering from tooth pain from the past 2 days. It pains a lot, particularly in the night. But I'm worried whether it is safe to consult a dentist during this period. I read a blog of a dental clinic in Burlington related to this topic. It says that "You should be seeing your dentist at least once while you’re pregnant because even though you are carrying a baby, you still need to have your teeth checked and cleaned". What is your opinion about this?
