n important additional consideration is that dentists are reportedly reluctant to provide care to pregnant women be- cause of concern about possible risks [39]. Current prac- tice typically limits non-urgent dental treatment of pregnant women to the second trimester, as there is concern about pos- sible teratogenic consequences during the first trimester and about the woman’s comfort in the dental chair during the third trimester. A single study relating antepartum dental radiog- raphy with full term low birth weight raised concern about the safety of dental care during pregnancy [40], but was crit- icized for its methodology.
