It is recommended that a breastfeeding woman should talk to her doctor before having a tooth extracted and take into account her situation to decide if she needs to have a tooth extracted. If a breastfeeding woman needs to extract an impacted tooth, i.e. a tooth that grows in the gums, the extraction process is more complicated and invasive and requires antibiotics and pain medication for 1-2 days after the procedure, and a small amount of medication residue in the milk can be passed to the baby through feeding. If a woman wants to reduce the effect of the medication on the baby, she can try to suspend the extraction if the toothache is tolerable. A local anesthetic is required before tooth extraction, and this anesthetic can be metabolized after 12 hours and generally has less effect on the baby after complete metabolism. If the toothache is unbearable, the tooth can be extracted, but try to choose an experienced surgeon to operate in order to reduce trauma and the amount of medication used. Breast milk can be stored in the refrigerator prior to extraction to facilitate feeding the infant during the administration of the medication.
