I have a hole in my wisdom tooth from losing a filling causing me some pretty unpleasant jaw pain. At 24 weeks can I have it pulled?

What can I do next?

I got one pulled when I was in my third trimester. You can get it pulled they just won't put you to sleep and there are only curtain medicines they can give you for the pain afterwards. If it doesn't bother you they will probably advice you to wait until the baby is born.

I had a tooth pulled when I was almost 8 months pregnant. My dentist did require me to get a release from my OB first though. I think you should be fine but I would check with your OB.
Good luck.

Of course you can. You have to take care of your own health for you to make a healthy baby. A tooth that hurts might be infected underneath and spill septic material into your body.
Go to the dentist and learn what you can about anasthesia and the medication you might need afterward.

Absolutely. There should be no problem if they use a local or regional nerve block.
