pregnant - free dental care

[louise0501]

Hi there, im 15 weeks pregnant and just wondered is it true you get free dental care? My filling fell out a few days ago and im going to dentist on monday. Is it safe to have a filling when pregnant? The trouble is i havnt sent off for my maternity rxemption certificate yet as i need my midwife to sign it and im not seeing her till tues so will i have to pay for my filling? Is there anything else i can use as proof?

Please reply

many thanks
louise

Ask the dentist what proof they need and they will tell you

My mum got free dental care when pregnant with me and had several fillings and root canals as she didnt look after her teeth.
I assume its the same now.
Agree with what Nicola has said above :)
