How will mild Dental Work affect my breast milk?
I think I'm going to get a cavity filled which will require Novocaine and I am concerned that it will affect my breast milk in a negative way.
Does anyone have any recommendations? How long will the drug remain in my system? Is it ok to breast feed afterward or should I 'pump and dump'? My Baby is exclusively breastfed so I'm wondering if I need to pump in advance and if so, how much? I've searched online but I can't seem to find any information about breast milk and dental work. Any helpful advise is welcome. Thank you!
How will mild Dental Work affect my breast milk?
In a few words "it wont". Your body has the ability to do some amazing things and really is setup to protect alot of key functions and breast milk is one of them. While we, in this day and age, do our best to eat a perfect diet and hydrate adequately etc. while breastfeeding, your body truly is adept at making bmilk even during times of famine, sickness, or unusual circumstances, your body will still produce perfect breastmilk.
So what exactly am I saying and what does this have to do with your question?
Well in a nutshell what I am saying is your body is so well designed, to under any circumstance, be able to provide the perfect food to your baby that Novocaine will not interfere with this process and make you need to take any extra action and you definitely don't need to pump and dump.
My suggestion would be take some time before hand to nurse as much as possible just before you leave and leave some pumped milk if you think you need too(the amount will depend on how old baby is? 6 ounces will be plenty for now ) and nurse when you return. The Novocaine will be administered at the start of your visit so it will likely be around at least 2 hrs (or longer) from the time you get it till the time you nurse again so really it will be a non issue.
So glad to see your an EBF'r (thats exclusive breastfeeder for those not hip to bfing lingo :) Its so unfortunate that the world as a whole seems to be so geared toward teaching thier children to formula feed. I can only hope that this generation learns the amazing benefits to both mom and baby and decides to flip to being a mostly bfing generation.
Keep up the good work your doing awesome!
Reply:it will be fine, novacane is injected into the nerves, not the blood stream, so it will not be excreted in the milk.
Reply:You should call the dentist office.
Reply:Ask your dentist, not the idiots who use Answers! It always amazes me when I see people using this feature to get advice on such important matters from every ignoramus in the country.
Reply:it will not affect your brest milk. I worked in a dental office for 5 years that i saw many patients that came into the office and got novocaine. But im not a doctor now. I just worked there.
Its a good question. Just ask you dentist when you make an appointment. But it is ok to do your fillings and such.
Good luck sweetie
Reply:ask the doctor
Reply:Be safe-Yes, just pump and dump that 24 hours one hour after your appointment. Start asap and refrig it save them up.
Yes, you can rent one or borrow one from a friend, its not hard. Just not fun. Le Leche will help you out.
Honestly if the baby is over 12 months, don't' worry about it.
Its a sedative and it will only make Her/ Him sleepy like Benadryl in your system. My only concern is allergic reactions. Which are very UN common.
You may take this time as a the catalyst to weign the baby from breast only, so that others can bottle feed her and bond. I used breast milk and formula/ cereal combinations for a year. I have to tell you, the personal freedom is worth the sacrifice.
Reply:It is not known whether local anesthetic drugs are excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when local anesthetics are administered to a nursing woman. It is known that procaine (novocain) is readily transported across the placenta and into fetal tissues during pregnancy. My guess would be that the drug and its metabolites will be at insignificant levels to cause harm to a nursing baby from a simple dental injections but it is a guess.
Reply:"Both x-rays and novocaine (and other drugs used for local anesthesia, such as bupivacaine and lidocaine) are considered to be compatible with breastfeeding."

Don't pump and dump. Pumping in advance might be good, just so someone else can feed baby if you're just not feeling up to it afterwards if you're in pain. see above link for more details on the medications!!
Reply:To the person who said not to ask such questions on line but to ask the dentist. I'm sure she plans on asking the dentist also. Maybe she asked wanted more opinions on the matter, or maybe she doesn't have time to talk on the phone, children are loud and you can't hear a thing on the other line. But about the question. I'm having the same thing done next week and I also breastfeed. My dentist said it will be just fine. Good luck and good for you for breastfeeding.
Reply:It won't affect it at all. I've already asked my dr this...:) but beware, after you've had a baby your gums and teeth are WAY more sensitive!
Reply:u should ask your dentist

Mouth & under tongue sore after dental work.?
I had a lot of dental work done yesterday. Three fillings, one tooth bonded, %26amp; had dental impressions made for a night guard. The dentist put these little rolled cotton things under my tongue while she was doing the filling %26amp; now I have a lot of soreness in that area. Also my fillings are really sensitive? Anyone else experience this?
Mouth %26amp; under tongue sore after dental work.?
I've not had the under-tongue soreness, but I have had the sensitivity with the fillings. It should go away in a few days. If it doesn't, go back to the dentist.
Good luck!
Reply:I have experienced that too. I think its because of all the touching around in your mouth they do. It also makes my gums sore too. So I wouldn't worry about it, just take some pain relievers.
Reply:normal honey. Rinse with salt water, warm salt for a few days. Sip warm tea and try some soup. Hope you feel better. Take tylenol or motrin.

List of Dentists or Organizations that Do Charity Dental Work?
Does anyone have a list of organizations or dentists who do charity dental work?
I am on the board of a nationwide organization that helps formerly homeless women with children get employment and get back on their feet. Many of them have dental issues (with no insurance) and the cost to fix their teeth is prohibitive.
One example: a woman had her two front teeth knocked out by an abusive husband. She left him and is doing well, but is having difficulty finding a job because she has teeth missing. You can not imagine how this is affecting her self-esteem. We encounter hundreds of women like this all the time.
Does someone know any dentists or organizations that can provide tax-deductible charity dental work? Material costs can be covered.
Can someone help?

Dental schools are far and few between. I believe in Florida there is only Gainsville and Ft. Lauderdale. But you can check the American Dental Association website for listings of dental programs to see if there is something closer.
Good luck!

How can someone who needs dental work but can't afford it, get dental help in Texas?
Is there any organization or group that will help pay for dental work for someone who is on a very low income in Texas?
How can someone who needs dental work but can't afford it, get dental help in Texas?
Check on the internet for a dental school close to where you are. They will provide services for low cost or possibly for free. You will get excellent care, I promise. The appointments may take a bit longer than they would at a regular dentist, but if it's free, that's ok, right? Good luck!
