Hello,
Welcome to health care magic forum.
I have read your concern.
There is nothing to worry to extract teeth while breast feeding.
The only concern is-you need to take rest after extraction of teeth.
Certain antibiotics can cause diarrhea to the child while breast feeding.
Please do inform your dentist regarding this.
You can proceed with the required treatment to be done.
Meanwhile, maintain oral hygiene well.
Take a balanced diet.
Hope this helps.
