I have a broken tooth on my uppper right side. It just recently started to cause alot of pain. To the point where I can't sleep and barely eat. I am 6 weeks pregnant and went to a dentist who said the tooth needs to be pulled but because of the tooth being broken like it is I have to go to an oral surgen. I have an appt tomorrow but I'm afraid he wont pull the tooth. Does anyone know if the dentist will pull the tooth even under local anestesia.

Sure. The risk of leaving an active infection untreated is far greater than any risk associated with removing the tooth using local anesthetic.

dont be afraid the tooth can be extracted while you are pregnant the Surgeon may use a different local anesthetic because of your pregnancy Dentists wont take xrays and may wait till baby is born before setting an amalgam filling but extractions are fine

I had a crown put on while pregnant. It was actually kind of weird and funny because whenever the dentist drilled in my mouth, my baby kicked and fussed in my stomach. She didn't care for the drill, thanks.

Dont do it. Its bad. You're taking away the clacium the baby needs. ur teeth is were the baby gets its calcium, so dont do it. U gonna regret if ur baby is malnutrition.

Why don't you ask her to ask her friends? Are any of them dentists? Maybe there is a superstition.
