Ob-gyn check first: Usually dental work is kept to a minimum, with the second trimester the optimal time for needed work that can not be put off. We defer to the ob-gyn for all viable treatment that is needed. It would be unusual to need general anesthesia for routine dental work and I can assume that the answer would most likely be no.
