If the tooth extraction cannot be avoided at any account, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon can perform it with all preoperative and postoperative precautions. Whether it's having a tooth pulled, a root canal or just a routine cleaning, it's important for your health and the health of your baby not to ignore your teeth and gums during pregnancy. Ideal is 2nd trimester but in emergency we can do it at any trimester in minimum time with multiple assistance. Previously it was thought not to take xrays in pregnant lady but now it is also performed as researches has shown no impact on fetus with all necessary precautions taken while performing it. Hope it will help you and many others who are pregnant and suffering from gum teeth related problems.
