If you are worried about it I would speak to your manager or principal dentist. If it's practical to avoid something whilst pregnant for piece of mind there shouldn't be a problem.

I had a look on the website of one of the major automatic developer manufacturers, they provide safety data sheets for their chemicals.
I have added links.

I'm assuming the chemical composition is more or less the same no matter what method you use.


Worth a read, and info to show your manager. Section 16 on each sheet might be of use

Good luck

Hello to all DNR's! I'm pregnant and I would like to know if it's safe to change the chemicals in the developer? I've done a research online but I couldn't find anything related to dentistry, all I found is in general saying that there is a risk being expose to toxic chemicals! Any advices are more then welcome!
