Apprehension of a dentist to treat a pregnant woman is nearly reasonable considering the vast number of changes taking place in the body. These vast changes could pose a significant risk to the health of a pregnant woman undergoing dental treatment. This makes it mandatory for a dentist to be aware of the dos and don'ts of treating such patients to ensure maximum safety to the mother and her growing foetus. It is important to fully understand the specific changes occurring during each trimester to appropriately modify the treatment approach starting from scheduling of appointments and correct chair positions to major surgical procedures. Knowledge about the pharmacological actions and limitations of drugs administered during this period is essential. Each branch of dentistry has a distinct modality of treating expectant mothers. Hence, the purpose of this article is to emphasize on the dental services that a pregnant woman can receive without hesitation and to give a complete picture to the dentist regarding the specific alterations that he needs to make in treating such patients.

Teratogen is any agent that might interfere with the proper growth and development of the embryo or foetus. Teratogens usually involve radiation, cancer, chemicals, and drugs. Comprehension of teratogenic drugs is of great value to dental practitioners because they handle a wide range of drugs that cause teratogenicity in the care of patients with dental problems during pregnancy. The aim of this survey is to assess the awareness among dentists of teratogenic drugs. The study was conducted among 100 final year dental students and interns in Chennai City. 10 questions eliciting information on the knowledge and understanding of teratogenic drugs were framed and distributed. The responses obtained from the participants were compiled, processed further, and analyzed. 83% of the participants were aware of teratogenic drugs. This study concluded that knowledge about teratogenic drugs is adequate among dental students.
