Oh okay. Yeah you can get it removed but you just won't be able to have nitrous oxide or be put to sleep. But you can have novicaine.

It is safer to get it pulled or do a root canal than to put you on antibiotics and other medication in the first trimester especially. That is crazy!

You do not need to wait until you deliver. And you also have a choice of doing a root canal so you cN keep the tooth unless the tooth is too far decayed for that. I am a Licensed Dental Assistant.

U might want to consult a dentist. Tooth decay can be bad for you and baby. I would definitely get another opinion.
