If you have a abcess tooth, or a tooth that needs root canal treatment is it safe to just get it pulled while pregnant? i'm 28 weeks

Yes: It may be more detrimental to have an active infection while pregnant. Make sure you really want to get the tooth removed, and not treated to help you maintain it. Check with your dentist and ob/gyn about the surgery. You will most likely be safe after your first trimester.

Dental Infection: Always consult with your gynecologist first but yes it is generally safer to have the infected tooth extracted as to remove the source of the infection. You may also proceed with the root canal to save the tooth.

Abcess and Pregnant: Usually you are pretty safe to get dentistry done after your first trimester of pregnancy. It is more detrimental to you and your babies health to have an abcess. You could also consult with your obgyn to get another opinion. It may also depend on if you are a high risk pregnancy or not if you get the extraction. I suggest you get the root canal if possible.

See a DDS ASAP: Pregnancy is not a reason to defer routine dental care or treatment. Dental local anesthesia and treatment are safe and essential during pregnancy.
