During lactation, tooth extraction can be done. If wisdom teeth are often inflamed, tooth extraction is recommended. Women can temporarily stop breastfeeding during tooth extraction, because anti-inflammatory drugs such as metronidazole are needed to prevent infection after tooth extraction. The drugs may be absorbed by the baby through milk and affect the baby's body.
