Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I had a C-section before three months. Is it safe to pull my tooth right now? I am having a terrible toothache.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
As you have done C-section before three months, it is safe to visit a dentist for getting treatment. You will be giving breastfeeding to your baby and you need to take some precautions. You need to take safe antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicines during feeding. It is important to inform your feeding history to your dentist before taking any prescribed antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicines. You need to take intraoral clinical photographs or dental X-rays IOPA (intraoral periapical radiograph) or OPG (orthopantomogram). Please mention your medical history or any intake of medicines or allergy to medicines to your dentist before taking treatment for this issue.
