I am 28 weeks pregnant and had recently visited my dentist for the extraction of my wisdom tooth which was causing trouble. Meanwhile he said that I need deep dental cleaning and this will be done using anesthesia again. I am not sure if its safe to take anesthesia a couple of times while I'm pregnant. pls advice. Also that I dont have dental insurance, Doc said it will cost me $400, which I can split my treatment n payment into 4/2/1 visits depending on my convenience. Is it costly?

When you say "anesthesia," do you mean general (being unconscious) or local (shots, Novocaine etc.?) We preformed root canals using local anesthetic on pregnant patients almost daily, no risk factors. I would be somewhat apprehensive about being put out completely while pregnant though.
