Consult your OB: It is probably best to have your ob/gyn doc involved in this discussion. I would probably recommend you postpone the oral surgery until the baby is born just so there are no adverse effects from the general anesthesia during the oral surgery.

No: Probably best to not use general anesthesia but use local anesthesia when pregnant.

Yes, if necessary.: Pregnant women (and their babies) can do fine during anesthesia. The anesthesiologist will take your special circumstances into consideration. With that said, i would not recommend general anesthesia unless the procedure was absolutely necessary. If it is necessary, most people would wait until the end of the 1st trimester. I wold think teeth extraction should wait until the baby is here.

Preferably not: If possible wait till after your pregnancy is over and if the extractions are necessary before then it should be ok to use local anesthesia . Either way, you shouldi consult with your ob/gyn.
