so long as the dentist is aware that you are pregnant, you shouldn't have anything to worry about. they take proper precautions and don't do anything that would greatly jeopardize your pregnancy...NOT having it taken care of is more of a risk, as the infection can go into your bloodstream and affect your unborn child.
its more dangerous not to go, the abscess could become an infection that gets in your blood stream, BUT make sure you tell the dentist that you could be pregnant, so that they can take the proper precautions in case there are x-rays or the meds or whatever, they have encountered this before so they will know how to handle it.
Just tell your dentist that you might be pregnant. They
are drs, and will know what to do
yes you will be okay just make sure you tell the dentist you are pregnant
