I got 2 teeth pulled due to infection.
Its possible youll have an x ray
And they will prescribe hydrocodone which issafe in pregnancy, just dont take it unless you need it

You can get it pulled, in fact of the infection gets in your blood stream in can harm the baby. Go to the dentist. The only thing you can't have is an xray. There is meds you can have being prego your dentist can instruct you

I think you can get it pulled. Others have. Just don't take the pain killers, take like Tylenol. They have something other then novacane they give pregnant women. Just make sure you ask for it. I had fillings done, I know iys not the same, but if its infected you should get it taken care of.
