Lucie, I know lots of people over the years, myself included that had dental work including fillings put in or taken out during pregnancy. The fact that in the UK you get free dental treatment on the NHS if you are pregnant, I think, prompts a lot of people to get it done then. I would hope that now a lot more people are aware of silver fillings and the damage that can be done to your health with them, I know a lot more dentists here now recommend white fillings than the silver ones, but I still know tons and tons of people with silver fillings in or who are still getting them. Luckily all the people I know who have had fillings done in pregnancy have had no problems themselves or with their children. I guess it comes back to how well the body can detox itself of the mercury when the fillings are placed or drilled.
