Is it safe to have wisdom teeth removed under anesthetic or laughing gas while pregnant?

that is a question only your doctor can answer. It would probably depend on what was used and any meds taken. I totally agree with the above poster. Usually your doctor would tell you when you are first pregnant or thinking of becoming pregnant to get your teeth in shape. Carrying a baby takes a lot of calcium out of your body, thus more problems with your teeth so if they are not in the greatest shape you are going to have problems. I wouldn't think giving you laughing gas or anesthetic a good idea. I had my wisdom teeth taken out with just plain old freezing. If your wisdom teeth aren't bothering you let it go for now. If they are bothering you it would be wise if you asked your doctor to put you in the hospital to have this procedure done. Good luck

Laugh Your Way to Wisdom Teeth Removal?
Not everyone has their wisdom teeth removed. If you do have to have your wisdom teeth removed, find a doctor that knows what they are doing and try to get them all removed at the same time. Most doctors will use laughing gas for sedation. Some doctors will put you fully to sleep to remove the wisdom teeth. Recovery is about three to four days with a soft diet.

Due to local anesthetic, it can be difficult to smile, talk, or even open and close one's mouth following wisdom tooth extraction. This usually resolves itself as soon as the anesthetic wears off and the swelling goes down. This can take up to a week or more, depending on how difficult the extractions were.
