When I had my wisdom teeth removed I experienced almost no pain, unless I bit down as hard as I could and pushed the swollen areas together (had all 4 out at once). Heard that that usually means the procedure went flawlessly, but considering the source, not 100% on that.
It is dangerous not to get your wisdom tooth out because the infection can spread to other parts of your body...like your heart. Not a good thing. Pregnant women have gotten their wisdom teeth out safely without harming their babies. That should not be too much of a concern to you. Though, just for your peace of mind, discuss what sort of pain management your dentist would use in order to ensure the safety of your unborn baby and if there is a way to also keep you calm since dental tools make you nervous.
Also discuss the meds afterwards. What can they give you to help you feel ok after the surgery is done that is safe for your baby. I do not know how far along you are, but that may have an effect on what meds are safe for you and what they need to stay away from. I was not in pain for very long after my wisdom teeth were out. I had all four out at once and I was only sore if I opened my mouth too wide. I ate soft foods that didn't require crunching or too much chewing and shakes and other drinks through a straw for a few days. It really depends on your pain tolerance and the specific experiences people go through.
But you DO need to consider the surgery and what could happen if your wisdom teeth are infected or get infected and how that may effect your health as well.

Brackish, that is sooo fucked up, but thank you for the laugh.
You would have liked my old dentist, btw. When he gave me a small filling over a year ago, he used three different anesthetics on me. First one was topical, so my jaw wouldn't hurt when he gave me the first shot to numb my whole head, and once I couldn't feel him poking at my jaw with his scrapey thingy hook deal, he gave me the first shot. The first shot was to numb even more of my jaw so he could give me the really big shot to numb half my head. It was pretty funny, I amused myself for hours by flaring only one nostril. My sister thought it was funny because one half of my face wasn't responsive and she couldn't stop laughing when she saw me try to smile.
Lyn, you should buy BlueBell ice cream. Speaking of which, I want a fudgesicle.

I had that too! When I called my mom to come pick me up, half my face still wasn't working so I sounded like I was chewing on a sock. Mom was giggling like an idiot the whole time, since I kept telling her to "shubbup".
I was checking myself out in her rearview mirror, and she goes, "You look like a damn stroke victim". I love my mommy. :happysad:
