Family Forum / Pregnancy / Breastfeeding / August 2007did you go to dentist while bf?
did you ever get cavity work done when breastfeeding? were you concerned about the anasthetic getting into the breast milk? thx Yes, and No. If I were to wait till I was finished breastfeeding, then chances are the tooth would not be able to be saved by that time considering it was shortly after she was born and we're now at almost 3 years. Dental anesthesia is a very safe drug while breastfeeding as far as I know, I'm sure someone else will have more info. > did you ever get cavity work done when breastfeeding? > > were you concerned about the anasthetic getting into the breast milk? > thx babyg52007@yahoo.com schrieb: > did you ever get cavity work done when breastfeeding? > > were you concerned about the anasthetic getting into the breast milk? > thx You can always have them do it without the anesthetics. And if you're really worried, pump some milk beforehand and feed that while you pump and dump after having had the anesthetics. cu nicole On Aug 19, 10:59 am, "babyg52...@yahoo.com" <babyg52...@yahoo.com> wrote: > did you ever get cavity work done when breastfeeding? > > were you concerned about the anasthetic getting into the breast milk? > thx I've had fillings while breastfeeding. Since the local anesthetic used was considered compatable with breastfeeding and my baby was more than a couple weeks old, I didn't worry. Kellymom has a page on dental work and breastfeeding: http://kellymom.com/health/illness/dentalwork.html --Betsy > did you ever get cavity work done when breastfeeding? > > were you concerned about the anasthetic getting into the breast milk? Lidocaine is compatible with BF. I've had teeth pulled and crowns done while BF. -- Anita -- > did you ever get cavity work done when breastfeeding? > > were you concerned about the anasthetic getting into the breast milk? > thx local or general? as others have said lidnocaine is fine, it barely gets into the blood stream beyond the numbed site and what does is fine anyway general isn't as straight forward, but still doable the trickier thing is juggling the time and the feeding and what not and depending on how you feel afterwards, I've not had minor dental work, so I can't speak from experience and I don't think most things are as bad as removing a deeply impacted wisdom tooth, which I had done whilst breastfeeding and pregnant! Anne > did you ever get cavity work done when breastfeeding? > > were you concerned about the anasthetic getting into the breast milk? > thx I had two wisdom teeth out while breastfeeding. I haven't had any fillings in quite a while, though.... No holes in several years :) As others have said, lidocaine is fine and the local is pretty much all I had for the wisdom teeth plus some paracetemol, which is OK, too. I refused the Voltaren because I know (or at least am pretty sure) that it's not compatible with bf.

Thanks Anne. I vaguely remembered reading somewhere that I shouldn't use it while breastfeeding so I refused it. Maybe it wasn't recommended during pregnancy? I can't remember... Doesn't matter now and I coped with the pain quite well with just the help of paracetemol anyway. Good to know for the future, though, because I have a couple of prolapsed disks and if my back goes crazy I now know that I can use Voltaren rather than gritting my teeth and trying to cope on paracetemol and heat packs alone.

Not quite, NSAIDS are mostly considered ok in 1st and 2nd trimesters, but considered dangerous in the 3rd trimester, causing damage to the foetal kidney function and then other problems as a result of that. Off the top of my head, it's the only type of drug I can think of that some varieties don't require prescription, yet has a clear risk of harm in pregnancy. Cheers Anne >> Thanks Anne.

I don't think they're considered OK in the 1st trimester either. I remember reading a study that linked Ibuprofen consumption to increased miscarriage risk, presumably due to the anti-prostaglandin effect.

All the NSAIDS I looked up were given as B for 1st and 2nd and D for 3rd. Thus was from safefetus.net - it seemed to imply that for the animal studies, the doses that caused defects, when translated to equivalent human doses were toxic anyway. Obviously there's a difference between giving a single dose and taking the medication regularly. Cheers Anne |
