Safe: Safe in the hands or an oral & maxillofacial surgery. You also should have been told about the option of treating with antibiotics til after childbirth, then take teeth out.

It is safe: Lidocaine with epinephrine is considered safe during pregnancy. No scientific studies can be found to confirm the effect of epinephrine on uterine muscle. Best of Luck!
