Pregnant extraction: Make sure it has to be extracted 1st. If you are otherwise healthy and in the hands of a competent dentist, it is a safe procedure as long as some basic precautions are followed. There is usually more risk not having dental problems taken care of. Have your dentist consult with your ob\gyn to discuss any necessary treatment. Congrats and feel better soon!

Needs evaluation: Teeth can be extracted while you are pregnant if the tooth must be extracted. Many times a tooth can be restored, that's why it needs to be examined. Letting a rotten tooth fester can cause a major infection, and that can be far worse than taking care of it now. Consult with your dentist and ob-gyn.
