No unless have to: Wisdom extraction is a intensive surgery sometimes could be more difficult than a gerenal abdominal surgery . Unpredictable complications also are not uncommon which includes severe systemic infection. It is an elective dental procedure in pregancy and unless you are already infected and pose a therat to you and baby, it is better to do it after delivery.

Yes, but: Wisdom teeth can be removed during pregnancy, with the second trimester being the safest time. The options for anesthesia/sedation and pain medications postoperatively may be limited per your ob-gyn.
