Is tooth extraction safe three months after a C-section?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

As you have had a C-section within the past three months, it is safe to visit a dentist for treatment. You will be breastfeeding your baby, and you need to take some precautions after extraction. You need to take safe antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicines during feeding. It is essential to inform your dentist of your medical history, including any previous feeding issues, before taking any prescribed antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications.

You need to take intraoral clinical photographs or dental X-rays, that is, IOPA (intraoral periapical radiograph) or OPG (orthopantomogram). Please mention your medical history, any intake of medicines, or allergy to medicines to your dentist before taking treatment for this issue.

Preventive measures:

1. Brush your teeth twice daily with a fluoride-containing paste.
2. Use interdental floss to clean the surfaces, spaces, and contacts between the teeth.
3. Gargle with salt water every day after meals.
4. Clean your tongue regularly.
5. Have a check-up every six months by consulting your dentist.
6. Get your teeth cleaned and polished once every six months.

Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further.

Thank you.
