<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I am 34 weeks pregnant and visited the dentist today to have a replacement filling put in a tooth .. Since they hadn t seen me before - they wanted to do 4 dental x-rays. They recieved an approval letter from a maternity nurse for me to recieve care, I m not sure that I was cleared to recieve the x-rays.. But i m guessing I was as they went ahead with them. They doubled up on the x-ray shields for me.. My husband is furious that they did x-rays with me being pregnant I just told him tonight my appointment was this morning and he is afraid that it could have affected our baby... Is there any large risk by me having those x-rays done should I mention it when I see my ob this friday?  <response>: Hello there...any form of radiations are usually contraindicated in pregnancy...the first trimester that is the initial 3 months you are not supposed to get yourself exposed to these ionizing radiations... When getting a X-ray becomes mandatory...lead shields are used to prevent these radiations affecting your fetus...34 weeks falls in the last trimester.the last 3 months of pregnancy...Dont worry the organ development would have got over...that doesnt effect the child now... Tell your husband not to worry about the radiations... I wish both of you good luck...
