At least go in a get checked. They won't pull with an active infection anyway. But at least they can give you antibiotics to kill the infection. For pain relief is really just Tylenol and oragel, although some docs will prescribe narcotics. But once the infection is controlled that will subdue the pain.
I use to be an oral surgery assistant. It's always best to wait for anything since the numbing medicine isn't the best for the baby. If you need it taken out you will need a drs not from your OB. Having an infection isn't good either. Rinse your mouth out with mouthwash to help clean the bacteria. We use to say it's best to wait, but infections always came first to remove.
