Dental Procedures and pregnancy?

I need to have my wisdom teeth extracted because they're impacted... the appointment has been booked for 3 months now it's a dental surgery... I just recently found out i'm pregnant.


The procedure involves me being given a twillight sedation through I.V... Can i have this procedure done if i'm pregnant? or do i have to wait to have it? my mouth is in a lot of pain i don't know if I can take 7 1/2 months more...

My sister had the same problem. She had to have her wisdom teeth taken out without any drugs but a locale. I would ask the dentist AND your obgyn. The dentist might say its fine, but ask the obgyn first. You might just want to do a locale.
Reply:you should check with your doctor. becuase you don't know how the medication for the sedation will effect the baby.
Reply:They might just use the shot to numb you. I worked for a dentist and did see a woman get worked on. She was pregnant and had her fillings replaced. On you it might be more tricky because for wisdom teeth removal you need to get an x-ray. X-rays on pregnant women are not done because of the risks. It's been awhile since I worked for the doctor but you would have to ask the dentist.
