Correct advice. my husband regularly sent me to the dentist before pregnancy, so I did not encounter any problems during it! But still, if some unforeseen situation arises, you should contact a specialist who will tell you what to do in this situation and what is the real need. After all, this can indirectly affect the child, and this is very important.

To prevent emergencies, schedule a dental appointment before you leave, and take advantage of teeth cleaning, fluoride treatments, and x-rays.
