I am 8 weeks pregnant and have an abscess tooth im on antibiotics is it safe to have teeth pulled in first trimester?

You should be fine..: Your dentist will work together with your obgyn to have that infetion taken care of and have that tooth extracted. You will be limited to certain meds and anesthesia. You can't wait until you give birth... There's more of a chance of a major infection, and that could be problematic.

See your dentist!: An infected tooth can lead to major problems and should be treated promptly. Antibiotics do not concentrate in the bone enough to clear up a dental infection. It is often better to have the tooth removed or treated with a root canal if this is a possibility. All treatment should be done with the dentist and obsterician in close contact with each other to be sure you are receiving the best care.

2nd trimester best: See your oral surgeon and communicate with your ob/gyn md about what is best for you. Sometimes getting the tooth out is less stressful (you and baby) than waiting. Ask the docs. Best of luck.

Preg tooth extractio: It is better to have the infection removed (root canal therapy or extraction) than to have a chronic infection process and the impact on the fetus. Most all dental care is safe for pregnant women. The second trimester is the golden trimester for care but pain or active infection should be dealt with ASAP

Abscess: First, congratulations. I wish you a healthy baby. And to insure that, have the tooth out immediately. An abscess is an infection, and that can do more harm than the antibiotic you are on now that will only allow the infection to come roaring back as soon as antibiotic discontinued. As you are pregnant, see a specialist Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon for the tooth removal.
