Can I have a tooth extracted while pregnant?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Guo Huijie
In general, pregnant women should not have teeth extracted during pregnancy. Tooth extraction requires anesthesia, and if performed between the first and third months of pregnancy, it may affect fetal development and even lead to congenital malformations; in severe cases, it could trigger uterine contractions and result in miscarriage. Between the seventh and ninth months of pregnancy, tooth extraction may induce uterine contractions due to stress or fear, potentially leading to premature labor. If any physical discomfort occurs, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly to avoid delaying treatment.
