Sorry about that
Wellthere is growing controversy amongst dental practitioners as regardswhether a heavily pregnant woman should be allowed to undergo tooth extraction or notSome dental experts have advocated for the removal of the source of pain arguing that if the source of pain is not eliminatedthe natural chemical substances released by the body in response to such pain can induce labourHoweveranother group of dental experts saysit is better you delay the extractionremoval of tooth till after delivery as long as there is no obvious spreading infection
PersonallyI would recommend that you follow what your dentist says in line with the second school of thought by delaying the extraction till deliverywhich can happen be any moment from nowThis is because the process of trying to remove the tooth might be stressful for a heavily pregnant womanBesides the dental chair positioning is somewhat uncomfortable for heavily pregnant womenwith the possibilty of the fetus compressing on the venae cavae and possibly bringing about dizziness or fainting spells to the mother while on the dental chair
Howeversince you said there is an obvious hole on the said tooth id recommend that you avoid chewing using with that side till when you are ready to remove the toothThis is becausechewing on the tooth will provoke pain as long as food enters into the hole
Furthermore kindly ask you dentist to prescribe a pain relieving drug for you so you can be safe from further pain
I hope my answer was helpful enough
