They say it's better to get your dental work done than to let it go and possibly cause infection! Especially if you got white fillings... I don't think they use Mercury in silver fillings anymore but I know they used to, but not white fillings! Anyways, you'll definitely be fine. I drank and smoked like crazy while I was pregnant without knowing I was and my son is perfectly healthy!

It should be fine! Some dentists will do work even if they know your pregnant. I don't think there's any real risk to be worried about if it was just the one time.
