If you are in a situation where they are causing you pain or infection, then you have to have them removed.
In the hands of an anaesthetist you and the child will be fine.
Better to have them removed than try and last out the pregnancy on antibiotics and painkillers - that definitely wouldn't be good for bub and you.

If you can, it is better to wait after you give birth.
anesthesia is ok, if any treatment is allowed. Sorry there is no easy yes or no answer

Usually the anethasist will not agree to anethesize you if you are pregnant.
Better tell your dentist that you are pregnant.
