Hello,
I am Dr. kapil saroha from kapil dental clinic and implant center, Rohini, Delhi.
Although it is considered safe to remove tooth during second trimester, but once you should consult your gynaecologist as during pregnancy Ecospirin is taken by a women, you are also taking it as can be seen in your history. it is an anticoagulant, so it has to be stopped 2 days prior to tooth removal. If your gyane says it can be stopped for two days then it can be done.
Next Steps
consukt gynae then dentist.
Health Tips
Antibiotic like Amoxycillin And pain killer paracetamol are safe.
