Should be: For a normal pregnancy Amoxicillin is a safe drug to take. If you have any questions or concerns call your OB about this.

Yes : Amoxicillin is ok to take while pregnant but your wisdom tooth should be extracted before infection gets worse.

It is: You should also let your Obstetrician know about your problem. Long term antibiotics is not a good thing and you need to weigh the risks vs. the benefits of having the wisdom tooth removed. If you need to have it removed the safest time is during the second trimester.

Yes, but: Yes, but if pain persists, you may need extraction during pregnancy. Make sure you are being managed by wisdom tooth expert. For best results with wisdom teeth, make sure you are evaluated and treated by a board certified oral & maxillofacial surgeon.
