I have pre-term labor problems and all 4 of my wisdom teeth decided to come in. -_-
No dentist will extract them because im high risk.
As soon as I deliver im getting them extracted. Talk about adding to the pain of pregnancy. Blahhh.

Hi!
If you were my patient, I would advise you that it is OK to see your dentist for the extraction. Be certain to mention your pregnancy to your dentist and he/she may or may not want to postpone the procedure.  Certainly xrays should be minimized and you should be shielded.
There are medications that can be safely used during pregnancy to accomplish what you need.
Good luck!

Most doctors will not pull teeth until u are through your first trimester and you will need to be cleared by your obgyn. You will also only be able to get it pulled under a local anesthetic (numbing)
