I was given nitrose at the dentist a few days before I found out that I was pregnant. Is it OK?

Question:

I went to the dentist and was given nitrous for about one hour. A few days later I found out that I was pregnant. Does anyone know about his or had it happen to them? I've read that nitrous oxide causes birth defects.

Answers:
It has not harmed you or the baby.
In long-term exposure to dental staff it can lead to spontaneous abortions, but no harm in occasional exposure like yours.
If you still have any concerns, ask the dentist or your obstetrician.
Congratulations!

Best advice is go back ask the Dentist office that you went to the questions your asking here. they should be able to supply the answers for you. or call them on the phone and ask them .Put your mind at rest this way.

Have a nice day....

Rightly said by the doc above, occasional or inadvertant exposure like in your case is not harmful. However, you should inform all your medical professionals in your next schedule. Don't worry you are going to give birth to a laughing baby. Good luck. There is a good website to visit from time to time.
