Oral surgeon: Not if managed properly. Make sure you're being treated by an oral surgeon. Oral surgeons have experience in managing patients with complex medical issues.

See an oral surgeon: If at all possible, try to have dental surgery during your second trimester. It is especially critical to let your doctor know if you have dealt with prior treatment for hyperthyroidism and that you are pregnant.
