See your Dentist: If the tooth is infected, it is essential to have the tooth treated with antibiotics that will not harm the fetus. If the dentist can "patch" the tooth without extensive drilling or anesthesia until after the delivery, all the better so as not to develop a "blood borne" systemic infection and cause problems for the fetus.

Go to dentist: You should have the tooth seen and evaluated by a dentist. An abscessed tooth is never good.
