I would guess you have a cavity, nothing that means the tooth needs to be pulled.  They drill, clean out, and fill cavities, they don't pull the tooth.  Don't worry.  Do go to the dentist.

A De test might put u on an antibiotic if there is infection present. They might pull it depending on the severity of the infection and the stage of ur pregnancy. If it's a pretty large infection WITH swelling they may have you take the antibiotics for 10 days until the swelling goes down and then have until come back for the extraction.

Go to the dentist and get it taken care of.  Bacteria from tooth problems is bad to have in your system during pregnancy.
