Yes dental cleanings are safe. Just hold off on any xrays you might need until your second trimester and let them know you are pregnant. If you go to the dentist regularly and have no teeth hurting or bothering you i would just hold off on xrays until after you deliver. The cleaning itself is not only safe but it is recomended there is a lot of changes in your mouth during pregnancy and your mouth can get really bad fast.
