One reason why many people are concerned about tooth extraction when a woman is
pregnant has to do with outdated thinking on the subject of providing dental care to pregnant women. Many dentists used to be taught that it wasn't safe to treat women who were pregnant and would refuse treatment to women who needed it, no matter how severe the dental problem became.
Local Anesthesia and Other Safe Treatments
Local anesthesia might be all well and good for the baby during a tooth extraction.
When Should You Have the Tooth Pulled?
When it comes to a tooth extraction during pregnancy, timing is important. The American Pregnancy Association recommends having necessary dental work performed in the second trimester and postponing any non-essential treatments until after delivery.
By the time you get to the third trimester, you might find it very uncomfortable to lie back or recline while having the tooth pulled.
Of course, if you are having a true dental emergency and the tooth needs to come out ASAP, it doesn't matter which trimester you are in. Removing an infected or otherwise severely damaged tooth as soon as possible is better for you and the baby than leaving it to fester in the mouth.
Whether it's having a tooth pulled, a root canal or just a routine cleaning, it's important for your health and the health of your baby not to ignore your teeth and gums during pregnancy.
