Wait till second trimester before doing anything. Even teeth cleaning causes transient bacteremia. No need for La for cleaning.

Hello mam, it's not advisable to give local anaesthesia during the first trimester period without the consent of your gynecologist even though it's safe during pregnancy. For preventive measures local anaesthesia is not usually given hence you may go for minor dental procedures like cleaning and fillings. I would advise you to consult your gynecologist before going ahead with Dental treatment.
Health Tips
Take extra care for maintaining oral hygiene.
