I'd wait if you can, the pain is intense and you  wouldn't want to be on pain meds.  I had a root canal when I was 5weeks along and I didn't take any pain meds, and I was up for 3 days in excruciating pain.  I had my wisdom teeth out years ago but the pain even while medicated was worse than the root canal.  Put it off if you can... I  think your dentist is crazy for saying he or she would do it. A wisdom tooth can wait! Don't put yourself through the misery!!
