What is the best option for replacing a missing canine while pregnant?

Question

Hi I'm 38, my teeth are in good condition however I broke a canine 12 years ago due to grinding. I was advised at the time to leave it but it has become painful. I'm currently undergoing root canal but my dentist is ensure he will be able to complete it as there is calcification, he applied something to try and wear this away and am due a follow up. If I lose the tooth what is the best option for replacement? And what option can be implemented while pregnant?

Hello, it is recommended that treatments other than emergency treatments should not be performed during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester, due to the risk of miscarriage during pregnancy and premature birth in the last trimester, non-obligatory treatments are postponed after pregnancy. If the relevant tooth causes pain, this will be considered within the scope of compulsory treatment and it will be more appropriate to proceed to implant treatment after the extraction of the relevant tooth, followed by grafting and detailed radiological examination of the relevant area after the pregnancy is over, because X-rays should not be taken while pregnant.
