I wonder if you're having a reaction to the anesthesia? I would definitely talk to your dentist about it and also talk to your prenatal caregiver. I don't know what risk it would put baby in, but having your teeth crumbling sounds like that would be risky to baby too (ie, infection can cause PPROM, PTL, etc.). Perhaps if they used a different type of anesthesia, you might not get the reaction? It's worth talking it over with your dentist.

Oh, this is a tough situation!

I've had 4 teeth extracted (2 wisdom teeth and 2 retained baby teeth) and I had a tooth emergency earlier in this pregnancy where I thought I might have to have another tooth extracted, but thankfully they were able to hook me up with a temp filling that is working out fine.
I think you need to weigh both ideas really carefully. Talk to as many professionals (dental and prenatal) as you can. Talk to your dentist particularly -- he may not know the extent of your reactions, b/c you've gone to another room during them.
I think your body may just have this sort of reaction to losing teeth. It is a shocking experience, for the body, so that does make sense to me. (It could be the anesthia, but you didn't mention it happening during other dental procedures.)
I hope that this will work out with as little pain and trauma as possible!
