My doctor and dentist told me to wait until after the baby is born unless it is an absolute emergency. Having your wisdom teeth pulled is major trauma to your face. They both said they did not want to pull them until after baby because A) It is surgery, B) It is hard to eat after you get them taken out for a few weeks. I would wait if you can!

I had been scheduled to have mine July 19th and they said I had to cancel because anesthesia has been linked to birth defects. However, some people have teeth in a position to be pulled with less dangerous medication. It depends on your x-rays and how invasive the surgery would need to be to remove properly!

I got my wisdom teeth pulled at about 7 weeks and I didn't know I was pregnant. I found out a week later and asked my doctor and she said it was okay. I would just ask your doctor

I went to the dentist yesterday, and they want to pull mine at the end of the second to the beggining of the third. In the first trimester you can't have novacane because of the baby.
