No. Your fever is probably due to an infection in the tooth. Your dentist will check it out beforehand. Just be sure to let him/her know about the fever.

Yes,but the dentist should give you antibiotics . A fever indicates an infection in the gum or an abscess. If you can afford it, you should try to save the tooth by getting a root canal. Once a tooth is removed , the vacant space will cause the other teeth to shift. You should get it replaced as soon as possible. if you chose to get it extracted. I know you're in pain but the dentist can numb the area and with the antibiotics it will get better if chose the root canal. Anyway Good Luck.hope you feel better.

I wouldn't do it. A fever is an indicator that your body is already fighting off something. A dentist will usually prescribe antibiotics prior to the extraction ( at least 3-4 days) so my suggestion would be to go to a dentist, take the medication and then have the tooth extracted.

It depends on why you have a fever. Is it caused by your bad tooth? If so, you must have your tooth pulled, just take some tylenol or ibuprofen before you go to the dentist. If it's caused by another illness, a cold or something, you need to wait before going to the dentist.

You need to tell the dentist IN ADVANCE. He may want to postpone your dental work or give you some antibiotics before you have the tooth pulled.

If you are not in extreme pain, then they will most likely prescribe antibiotics.
If the pain is excruciating, then they may go ahead and extract and prescribe some serious antibiotics for the aftermath. Make sure you take all of them if this is the case...

Your dentist is the best one to advise you on this situation . . . usually, if fever is present (from diseased/sick tooth) you will be given an antibiotic prior to extraction. . .

Yes. It's okay to have tooth extracted even if you have fever. Just don't forget to take medicines like paracetamol and mefenamic acid.

I would say NO but call your Dentist and ask them. They will have the answer.

No Because if you get an infection it could make you so much sicker.
