    Yet another root canal question!

    So I am booked in to the dentist for the final part of a root canal (ie. xray, pins in, seal up), and I forgot to ask the dentist if it was safe to breastfeed my baby afterwards. DD is almost 4 weeks, and my dentist knows I was pregnant, so I'd assume he would've told me if I needed to make other feeding arrangements.

    Should I express some milk just in case?

    You should be fine. As far as I recall for the last pert of my root canal they didn't even need to use a local.

    Cool, that's what I thought, I just had a last minute panic!

    Not too excited, finishing 1 tomorrow, and 1 next week

    Told the dentist he should've just given me a general, taken out all my teeth and made dentures last year

    I just really hate going to the dentist. Which is odd really, as my dentist is about the nicest person you'll EVER meet...!
