Wisdom tooth inflammation and pain during lactation

Breastfeeding is the most difficult time for mothers. Not only do they have to feed their babies every day, but they are also afraid to treat some physical problems. For example, many breastfeeding mothers have wisdom tooth inflammation, which may even cause swelling and pain. At this time, not only do they dare not seek treatment, but they also have to endure it every day. However, enduring it will make them feel very uncomfortable. For this situation of wisdom tooth inflammation, it is very important to go to the hospital for reasonable treatment and maintain good hygiene.

Is it okay to remove wisdom teeth while breastfeeding?

Extracting wisdom teeth during breastfeeding is actually the same as extracting teeth. The breastfeeding period is also a special stage for mothers, especially when the baby is still in the infancy. The baby's nutrition is replenished by the mother's breast milk. The baby's healthy growth and development cannot be separated from the mother's cooperation. If a mother has a tooth extracted during breastfeeding, her breast milk will definitely be affected to a certain extent, and her body may undergo some subtle changes.

However, if the baby is still in the infant period and the mother happens to be in the primiparous period, it is generally not recommended to extract the wisdom teeth, because the baby's resistance is still very poor during this period, and all organs and nervous systems are in the developmental stage. This is a very critical moment, and the mother's behavior is directly related to the baby. On the other hand, when the mother gives birth, her body needs a certain period of recovery, so special attention should be paid at this time.

During childbirth, some organs of pregnant women are damaged to varying degrees, and due to blood loss, their bodies are relatively weak. Add to that the need to feed at night during breastfeeding and the noise of infants and young children, the mother's resistance will also be lower than before, making her more susceptible to infection by certain diseases and bacteria.

What are the dangers of wisdom tooth extraction during breastfeeding?

The biggest concern about tooth extraction during breastfeeding is cross infection, so when mothers choose a hospital, they must make sure that the hygiene conditions are met. Otherwise, if an infection occurs during breastfeeding, the infected bacteria may be transmitted to the baby, and the consequences will be disastrous. Therefore, hygiene is particularly important, and mothers should not ignore this detail because of convenience and other factors.

If the mother is really uncomfortable during breastfeeding and must have her wisdom teeth removed, she must go to a regular hospital for treatment and must tell the doctor that she is breastfeeding and let the doctor tell her which medicines she cannot take. Follow the doctor's advice. After all, once a mother is infected with bacteria, it will definitely harm her breastfeeding baby.
