Dental work while breastfeeding?

Question

Is there anything I need to avoid while at the dentist while breastfeeding? Xrays? Lidocaine? That numbing gel they use ect...I will most likely need a few fillings pregnancy was rough on my teeth.

Answer

I got x-rays, a tooth pulled, and numbing stuff / numbing shots about a month ago- I’m 4 months pp and breastfeeding :) just make sure they know you are breastfeeding.

Answer

Just tell them you’re BF and they’ll make sure to take the necessary precautions.

Answer

My dentist said everything they use is safe. She did ask though if I was breastfeeding tho ahead of time so as others said just be sure to let them know.

Answer

Check with the dentist, I had a root canal and they just made sure everything was ok with breastmilk.

Answer

Radiographs are totally fine. I’d double check with the doctor about the lidocaine
